The University of Westminster's Senior Lecturer, Jonathan Pike takes us through the different components of financial activity and analysis arising from profit and loss accounts, including total turnover, gross profit, operating profit, interest and tax, dividends and retained profit. A number of terms are clearly defined and explained.
