About the Author: Charles E.
The book is a must read for instructor\'s who are considering a course that introduces students to Budgeting and finance and those who want student\'s to learn the basic components of Budgeting and Financial management.
The ancillary materials make the process very easy for an instructor to organize their lectures around thematic areas.
While the original purpose of the book is the same, the third edition of the book provides a few new thematic sections as well as homework questions and classroom assignments that reinforce the topical areas.
Students will gain the solid foundation needed to begin work in a budget office.
This Handbook also shows students how to best utilize tools that allow them to visually display budgets and other budgetary data.
For example: creating tax structures, conducting a Financial management plan, risk assessments, cost benefit analysis, and so on.
Specifically, students will be exposed to basic budget and finance concepts, but more importantly they will complete assignments where they apply the information in various settings.
These exercises are the key to ensuring that students leave the classroom with knowledge and marketable skills.
This book bridges the gap by providing students with applications and exercises that reinforce budgetary theory.
