Business Accounting - Resources Help ???
Does anyone know any business accounting resources, either On-line, or books that aid the learning of a non-financial (accountant) person ?
I am looking for something that will help cement theories and calculations in my mind of NPV's, ROCE, Balance Sheet calculations, Balance Sheet equations etc.....

The first thing that comes to mind is a book written by Robert Follet that just might be exactly what you are looking for. It is entitled "How to Keep Score In Business: Accounting and Financial Accounting for the Non-Accountant". It is not exactly a new publication, but well worth the read, and I believe you should be able to find a hard copy from any bookseller for under $20.

I've used quickmba as one of the resouces. It lists various business areas such as accounting, finance, marketing and so on.
