“The book provides the reader with information about the current “hot-topics” in finance and has a clear emphasis on the basic principles of financial management without repetition. Furthermore, as simple language is used, the book can be easily understood by students that are not native speakers of English.”

                                                                               —Axel-Adam Muller, Lancaster

“..a useful text either as preparation for a second year course, or as a text for a first

   year financial management course that provides a “first sweep” of the major

   financial management topics. Not many texts cover this ground well.”

                                                                                    — Brian Wright,  Exeter

“This is the best book I have found so far”

[Haytham Badawey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Topics discussed in this book are intermediate to advanced level in financial management, and the good news is, this book summarize a huge amount of information and discussion in just one book. So I'd recommend it as a reference book as well as guide for the intermediate to advanced students and practitioners.

The first 6 chapters were very helpful, the laws, derivations and examples were very well explained and illustrated in graphs and numbers. The exercises are extensive and versatile.

I skipped some advanced chapters at the end of the book, because those chapters are beyond my scope of focus for the current time, but I sure am going to re-read the book after I have extended my knowledge and practical experience in financial management, in-sha'a Allah.
