Introduction to Financial Statements for Non Finance Managers

A plain-language, India-specific introduction to financial statements, built for managers outside finance, treasury teams, HR and L&D professionals, and founders who sit in review meetings where revenue, EBITDA, working capital and cash flow decide budgets and bonuses. Learn where to find the numbers in an Indian company's annual report, the accounting basics that shape them, and how to read a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement line by line. See which lines your own department creates, from employee costs and overheads to receivables, inventory and payables, and why reported profit is not money in the bank. Connect the three statements through a single transaction, use a handful of ratios that matter to managers, read variance reports and MIS with confidence, build a business case finance will take seriously, spot red flags, and finish by working through a real Indian company's annual report the way a manager should.
