  Simply the clearest and most comprehensive introduction to financial reporting available. No accounting background is required. “Finally, a handbook that takes the mystery out of accounting principles.” —Margi Gandolfi, VP Marketing/Strategic Planning of New York Blood CenterThis edition replaces all previous editions of this bestselling title based on the revised and expanded edition corrected and back to the basics.Financial Statements is a perfect introduction to financial accounting for non-financial managers, investors, business students, lawyers, lenders, entrepreneurs, and more. Financial Statements deftly shows that all this accounting and financial-reporting stuff is not rocket science and that anyone can understand it!Ittelson empowers non-financial managers by clearly and simply demonstrating how the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement work together to offer a snapshot of any company’s financial health. Every term is defined in simple, understandable language. Every concept is explained with a basic, straightforward transaction example. And with the book’s uniquely visual approach, you’ll be able to see exactly how each transaction affects the three key financial statements of the enterprise. Each statement paints a different and essential picture—the “three-legged stool” of company reporting:• The income statement shows the manufacturing (or service offerings) and selling actions of the company that result in profit or loss during a period. It gives a very important perspective on the company’s performance, its profitability.• The cash flow statement details cash into and out of the company for a period. You need money to make money. Running out of cash is bad. Duh.• The balance sheet records at the end of a period, an instant in time, what the company owns and what it owes, including the owners’ stake, called shareholders’ equity.

  When Josh Littlejohn started a small sandwich shop in his home city of Edinburgh, he would never have thought that, within ten years' time, it would be frequented by Hollywood megastars, that he would have opened a string of successful cafés across the UK, and that he would be honored with an MBE by the Queen. Not to mention raising over £25 million to combat homelessness around the world. And all set in motion by a person in need of homelessness, named Pete, walking into his café one day and sheepishly asking for a job. 
   
   
   
  Paying It Forward is part memoir, part manifesto for social entrepreneurship, and part manual for putting purpose ahead of profit. It reveals what social entrepreneurship is and how it can make a difference. How if only 20% of entrepreneurs became social entrepreneurs our world would be in a much better state. How we can 'Calculate Risks', why we should 'Help Just One Person' every day, and that 'If You Don't Ask, You Don't Get'. 
   
   
   
  The path to being social entrepreneur is never a smooth one: Paying it Forward is the compass for finding your own path and making a difference in the world.

  Audiobook Description 
  The Price of a Dream: Rethinking Financial Education for the Real World explores the hidden forces that shape the way we think about money, make financial decisions, and prepare for adulthood. 
  Dr. Nicole Munhoo challenges the traditional approach to financial literacy, which often focuses on budgeting, saving, credit, loans, and financial calculations. Through her research and the experiences of students, she reveals that knowing the rules of money is only part of the equation. Our financial decisions are also influenced by fear, family expectations, financial stress, shame, identity, and the lessons we absorb at home. 
  At the heart of the book is the idea of the “unspoken curriculum”—the powerful financial lessons we learn from our families and experiences, even when no one explicitly teaches them. These hidden lessons can influence how students approach college, debt, spending, credit, career choices, and their financial futures. 
  With thought-provoking stories and practical insights, The Price of a Dream examines the psychological side of financial literacy and asks an important question: What if preparing people for financial success requires more than teaching them the numbers? 
  Narrated by Clara Richard, this audiobook offers an engaging and accessible exploration of money, education, family, and human behavior. It is especially relevant for students, parents, educators, financial-literacy professionals, and anyone seeking to better understand their relationship with money. 
  Ultimately, The Price of a Dream argues that true financial literacy is not simply about knowing—it is about understanding, communicating, and having the courage to change the financial stories we have inherited.
