Book Details

About the Book

Accounting is often introduced as a subject of rules, formats, and procedures. This book takes a broader and more meaningful approach by presenting accounting as the discipline through which business events are identified, measured, recorded, classified, summarized, interpreted, and communicated for decision-making.

The book begins with the elementary foundations of accounting, including meaning, scope, process, terminology, concepts, fraud, and ethics. It then moves into the preparation and understanding of corporate financial statements such as the Statement of Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to Accounts.

It further develops the analytical side of accounting through financial statement analysis, quality of earnings, ratio analysis, DuPont analysis, distress screening models, and cash-flow-based interpretation. The later chapters extend into cost concepts, cost sheets, activity-based costing, cost management techniques, marginal costing, CVP analysis, short-term decisions, budgetary control, and the growing technology orientation of accounting packages and cloud accounting.

A major strength of the book is its effort to connect accounting procedure with accounting meaning. Rather than treating statements, ratios, or cost figures as isolated computations, the text explains their logic, relevance, and managerial significance. It is also written with examination utility in mind without sacrificing conceptual depth.

Abstract

Business Analytics equips managers, MBA learners, and working professionals with a decision-first framework for converting data into measurable business value. Rather than presenting analytics as a purely technical discipline, this book integrates strategy, execution, and quantitative reasoning to help readers frame problems, select appropriate methods, interpret results responsibly, and communicate insights that drive action. It begins with a managerial overview of analytics, including its scope, organizational value, decision contexts, and common failure modes, and then establishes the foundations required for trustworthy analysis, such as data sources, structures, quality, preparation, sampling, governance, privacy, and responsible use. The text develops competency across the analytics spectrum through descriptive analytics, KPI design, exploratory analysis, dashboard principles, segmentation, and executive storytelling. It introduces probability, uncertainty, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing in a managerial and interpretive way, helping readers understand evidence, quantify risk, and avoid common errors in interpretation. Predictive modeling chapters explain workflow, feature reasoning, validation, and evaluation, covering regression, logistic regression, and tree-based methods with business-linked metrics such as lift, calibration, AUC, and cost-sensitive measures. Forecasting and time series are connected to planning decisions in demand, inventory, and workforce. Prescriptive analytics extends insights into action through optimization, simulation, and scenario planning. The book also addresses experimentation, causal inference, customer and revenue analytics, operations and supply chain analytics, financial and risk analytics, and concludes with an implementation playbook covering responsible AI, governance, MLOps, change management, ROI, and OKRs for sustainable organizational impact.
