Confidential Due Diligence Report —FORUMS, LLC AND DARREN K. INDYKE Captain Ahab was obsessed with hunting down the great white whale that had bitten off his leg. "Brazil's relationship with inflation is similar,• writes Luiz Eduardo Franco de Abreu. "It has already attacked the country therefore Brazil is intent on eliminating it now at any cost." Anthony C.

Srinivasan, from Chakrath Consultants (chakrathks£yahoo.com) is not about accounting but selling - The First 30 Days of my Sales Career. In your initial days in this profession, you will suddenly realise the enormity of the learning required as sales professionals need to develop skills which span the entire spectrum of business management capabilities, writes Ra)eev Bakshi in his foreword. "These range from basic communication skills, to people management, to commercial and even marketing skills. It is an arduous and complicated learning process." That applies to CAs entering practice too. "The new incumbent should get into the learning mode, ask questions and clarify any doubts," advises the author. For, "if you feel shy or hesitant, you will be the loser." Each day reveals its lessons to the eager 'Chin' and the book has useful quotes and apt illustrations. The senior contributes a lot to the learning process in terms of different styles he or she adopts in the market, such as, "patience, aggression, flexibility, assertiveness, problem-solving, guidance, innovation," and so forth. A book that can make you want to change your profession - from auditing to selling!
