Although the prime focus is on owners and managers of farm businesses and farm diversifications, it is equally valuable for other types of rural business and organisation. It has proved popular on degree and diploma courses in Rural Resource Management, Countryside Management and Rural Estate Management, as well as those concerned with Agriculture. In this fourth edition, increased emphasis has been given to general accounting principles and techniques, especially those of management accounting, cost-volume-profit and break-even analysis and pricing. While maintaining and strengthening the farm business focus, the new edition also better accommodates the needs of non-agricultural enterprises, including service and manufacturing businesses and non-profit organisations such as Wildlife Trusts.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart 1 Basic Issues: Why bother?\u003cbr\u003e In the beginning...\u003cbr\u003e Building a framework\u003cbr\u003e Cash Flow, Profit and Capital: Cash flow\u003cbr\u003e Net Profit\u003cbr\u003e Profit statements\u003cbr\u003e Capital\u003cbr\u003e Capital Statements\u003cbr\u003e Depreciation\u003cbr\u003e Interpretation of Financial Accounts: Adjusting for realism\u003cbr\u003e Interpreting the profit and loss account\u003cbr\u003e Interpreting the balance sheet\u003cbr\u003e Management Accounts: Management versus financial accounts\u003cbr\u003e Gross margin accounts\u003cbr\u003e Full cost accounts\u003cbr\u003e Allowing for cost behaviour\u003cbr\u003e Pricing\u003cbr\u003e Variations from the Norm: Farm management accounting\u003cbr\u003e Partnerships and companies\u003cbr\u003e Voluntary\/non-profit organizations\u003cbr\u003e Part 2: Basic Budgeting: A profit budget: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Compiling a profit budget\u003cbr\u003e Home Farm profit budget\u003cbr\u003e A Cash Flow Budget for the Whole Farm: Basic principles\u003cbr\u003e Value Added Tax and overdraft interest\u003cbr\u003e Cash flow budgets in practice\u003cbr\u003e Reconciling cash flow and profit\u003cbr\u003e A Budgeted Balance Sheet: Compiling the budget\u003cbr\u003e A budgeted balance sheet for Home Farm\u003cbr\u003e Budgeting for Incremental Change: Relevant costs and benefits\u003cbr\u003e Partial budgets\u003cbr\u003e Part 3 Financial History: Recording Cash Flow: Designing a cash recording system\u003cbr\u003e The cash analysis system\u003cbr\u003e Petty cash\u003cbr\u003e Statutory records\u003cbr\u003e Recording Profit and Capital: Preparing a profit and loss account\u003cbr\u003e Valuing stocks\u003cbr\u003e Recording capital\u003cbr\u003e The 'Back-up' Records: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Transaction records\u003cbr\u003e Physical records\u003cbr\u003e Stock control\u003cbr\u003e Background records\u003cbr\u003e Organizing paperwork\u003cbr\u003e Post-script\u003cbr\u003e Part 4: Controlling the Business: Monitoring Cash Flow: Why monitor cash flow?\u003cbr\u003e Comparison of actual and budgeted results\u003cbr\u003e Interpreting the results\u003cbr\u003e Annual cash flow monitoring\u003cbr\u003e Monitoring Profit and Capital: The importance of monitoring profit\u003cbr\u003e Comparison with previous years\u003cbr\u003e Inter-farm comparisons (1): conventional profit and loss account\u003cbr\u003e inter-farm comparisons (2): profit and loss accounts in enterprise account form\u003cbr\u003e Budgetary comparisons\u003cbr\u003e Variance analysis\u003cbr\u003e profit monitoring for Home Farm\u003cbr\u003e Monitoring capital\u003cbr\u003e Part 5: More on Planning and Control: The Planning Process - A Wider View: Tactics and strategy\u003cbr\u003e The mission\u003cbr\u003e Setting aims and objectives\u003cbr\u003e Assessing 'internal' characteristics and external environment\u003cbr\u003e Generating alternative plans\u003cbr\u003e Selecting the optimal plan\u003cbr\u003e Implementing and monitoring the selected plan\u003cbr\u003e Involving other members of the organization\u003cbr\u003e Planning for Livestock Enterprises: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Feeding livestock\u003cbr\u003e Allocation of forage costs\u003cbr\u003e Estimating potential production\u003cbr\u003e Replacement of breeding livestock\u003cbr\u003e Livestock with long production cycles\u003cbr\u003e Labour and Machinery Planning in Farming: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Estimating level of use\u003cbr\u003e Estimating labour and machinery costs\u003cbr\u003e Investigating alternatives\u003cbr\u003e Capital Planning: Introdiction\u003cbr\u003e Sources of capital\u003cbr\u003e Estimating the cost of capital\u003cbr\u003e Comparing alternative uses of capital (1): simple measures\u003cbr\u003e Comparing alternative uses of capital (2): discounted cash flow techniques\u003cbr\u003e Allowing for Risk and Uncertainty: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Allowing for risk and uncertainty in planning\u003cbr\u003e Risk and investment appraisal\u003cbr\u003e Allowing for Inflation: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Inflation and financial accounts\u003cbr\u003e Inflation and management accounts\u003cbr\u003e Inflation and planning\u003cbr\u003e Inflation and investment appraisal\u003cbr\u003e Appendix A.
