RATIONALE

It is said that finance is the lifeblood of an enterprise.  If this is so, then accounting must be the pump that controls, measures and distributes it so that the enterprise and all its parts not only survive but flourish.

 

Accounting is defined as the information system that measures, processes and communicates financial information about a business.  It provides a vital service “by supplying the information that decision makers need to make reasoned choices among alternative uses of scarce resources…”  It is important for every key person of a business to understand and interpret the products of the accounting process known as financial statements.

 

Not all managers and key persons of a business have training in accounting.

 

“Accounting for Non-Accountants (AfNA)” has been designed for all who occupy responsible positions in the business but lack accounting background.
