Abstract

This textbook seeks to show how a range of questions on financial developments can be answered with the framework of financial accounts and balance sheets, by providing non-technical explanations illustrated with practical examples. Its main goal is to explain the design, the compilation, and the potential use of financial accounts and balance sheets in an understandable and easily accessible way.
