...Business Communication Context Businesses need accurate information. This information has to move between different individuals, different departments and different organisations. The information can be anything from a simple idea to masses of data on business performance. It can come from inside an organisation or from almost anywhere outside. Put simply, a business that does not plan how to deal with this information is a business much more likely to fail. The Scenario A medium sized business organisation has identified that communication within their organisation is poor. This has resulted in the calling in of a management consultant (you) to help but together a communication strategy. You will be expected to offer guidance on: • How and why different types of information need to be communicated in different ways. • Where information comes from. • How and why information needs to be recorded and stored. • Explaining what can happen when communication breaks down. • Explaining technological issues affecting information. • What laws and other rules control and constrain the flow of information. You will be expected to produce a report and present your ideas to a selected audience. Task 1 Produce a PowerPoint presentation that explains the nature of communication in business and the various types of information used by a business. You must also explain where this information can come from and how it should be used. [P1] Task...

Cash planning requires preparation of the cash budget, while profit planning involves preparation of a pro forma income statement and balance sheet. The text illustrates through example how these budgets and statements are developed. The weaknesses of the simplified approaches (judgmental and percent-of-sales methods) of pro forma statement preparation are outlined. The distinction between operating cash flow and free cash flow is presented and discussed. Current tax law regarding the depreciation of assets and the effect on cash flow are also described. The firm’s cash flow is analyzed through classification of sources and uses of cash. The student is guided in a step-by-step preparation of the statement of cash flows and the interpretation of this statement.

...unit is to enable learners to understand the purpose of accounting, and the associated processes and its role in the managing of a business. Learners will develop the skills and knowledge needed to understand financial information. Unit introduction Understanding how a business operates and what makes it successful, requires knowledge of the accounting process. Accounting involves recording business transactions and, this in turn, leads to the generation of financial information which can be used as the basis of good financial control and planning. Inadequate record keeping and a lack of effective planning ultimately lead to poor financial results. It is vital that owners and managers of businesses recognise the indications of potential difficulties. Remedial action can then be taken. The unit is divided into two parts. The first develops an understanding of the accounting processes necessary to provide accurate and relevant financial information. The second part covers the practical aspect of carrying out those accounting activities. Learners will be introduced to accounting terminology as they study the purpose and function of accounting and consider the various categories of business income and expenditure. It is important to know the sources of an organisation’s income and the nature of its expenditure, as this clarifies the basis of its profitability and enables more effective control of the business. Control begins with the planning process and learners will...
