Review of Treasurer's & Controller's Desk Book (Hardcover)

As a new controller that is basically needing to create the job as I go along, I am finding this book to be very helpful. It contains practical information that applies specificallly to the controller's position that is is difficult to find in other sources. One example of this is theinformation on a records retention policy. I wasn't able to find anyinformation elsewhere. This book not only provided me with information, butalso told me where to look for more information. Reading this book is likehaving a mentor available to me.
