CLIP 1: INTRODUCING ACCOUNTS (7 mins)
What do a company's accounts tell you? Why are they important? This is a simple guide to the profit and loss account (income statement) and balance sheet. Together these documents form the basis for a company's annual report. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of a firm's financial health - but what do we mean by financial health?
CLIP 2: WHAT IS ACCOUNTING? (8 mins)

CLIP 1: COSTS: AN INTRODUCTION (8 mins)
Vital to commercial success is how well businesses control their costs. These come in two basic types: direct and indirect. But in the real world classifying costs is rarely clear-cut. Manufacturer Blakeway Ltd divides its company up into cost and profit centres to help it monitor how different parts of its business are performing financially. But there's disagreement inside the company about how to act on the figures.
CLIP 2: COSTS & WORKING CAPITAL AT ACME WHISTLES (7 mins)
Acme Whistles in Birmingham has been manufacturing products for 130 years. Much has changed at Acme in that time - but covering its costs, both fixed and variable, remains a priority. Making sales doesn't mean cash in hand. They have to wait to be paid and they need money to keep going in the meantime - working capital. There are hidden costs, too - such as depreciation.
CLIP 3: PROFIT: WHAT IS IT? (8 mins)
Successful businesses devote themselves to making profit - but what is profit and how do you calculate it? Why is working out the cost of sales so important and what's meant by matching? What's the difference between gross profit, operating profit and the "bottom line"? This clip clearly explains the calculations and why they're relevant to business.
CLIP 4: HOW DO WE USE PROFIT? (5 mins)
How does a business decide what to do with its profit? Harry and Bee Payne, owners of small computer company Logical Friends, plough their profits back into the business. But Blakeway Ltd, a much bigger operation, has to give part of its profits to its outside shareholders as a return on their investment. Is this in the long-term interests of the business? And what about profit quality? Was Logical Friends' decision to invest its money in houses a good idea?

Anaïs is a determined and energetic 24-year-old with a dream: to have her own farm and make herbal teas from her plants in Brittany. But getting there won't be easy.
While Anaïs clearly loves spending her days among aromatic plants--pruning, transplanting, weeding, and blending teas--she also has to deal with financial hardship, poor-quality soil, and the challenges of marketing her products. After paying rent on her farm fields, she has just over 100 Euros a month to live on. When we first meet her, she is living in a tiny trailer with no power or running water.
Still, she persists. On a trip to Paris (in high heels and a stylishly retro jacket, but with her legs covered in scratches), Anaïs meets potential clients who tell her to launch a website, play herself up as edgy and punk, and target uber-chic groceries with her products. Back in Brittany, one of her mentors says to remain genuine, and not get burned by trying to be trendy. Meanwhile, her mother laments that she's chosen a life with no security and few prospects for advancement.
ANAÏS GOES TO WAR is a closely observed portrait of a young woman who is trying to forge her own path, and who values freedom and doing the hard work she loves over the security of a mundane job.
A young woman's struggle to forge her own path and start a farm.
