The limitation of the current reporting frameworks to convey value creation and preservation activities is largely because the prevailing value creation strategies that existed when the standards were enacted decades ago, have evolved. As many current business models have evolved over decades, namely, to rely more heavily on intangible assets at the expense of tangible, the standards and the economics have become misaligned.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible.

Although there are some advantages to IB in Canada, it’s almost always better to start a finance career in the U.S. or U.K. I can already hear Canadian readers screaming and proclaiming the benefits of free healthcare, so I’ll acknowledge that Canada does have some advantages over the U.S.

There has always been a catch-22 with most finance jobs: to gain the right experience, you need the right experience first. If you want an investment banking internship , you need a previous investment banking internship, usually at a smaller firm. If you want a sales & trading internship , you need previous trading experience. And as the recruiting process has moved up , this problem has gotten worse because you need these “pre-internships” even earlier to have a good shot at the large bank
