A bit focused on religious entities, but an in-depth and thorough treatment of the subject.

Always good to have a current resource. I think I gave my last one to my coworker at my last job. Intending it as a loan, but whatever. This one seems to be written much better than most, much much less obfuscation. Or perhaps I'm so old now, my obfuscy-immunities have reached critical mass. I don't know, but this book fits for me now. Have various aspects of this new job which are new to me, and also the organization has a different scope and different set of goings-on.. such as this book is a great orientation tool, if as good as it seems to be.

Actually this turned out to be a bit of a weird duck. Written more in layperson's language, because the authors are more laypeople themselves. And the point of it all: liquidity!! Maintain liquidity!
Functional allocations - completely glossed over. Two sentences. Thanks anyway.
The rest of it all - interesting run through, but... not as much 'there' there as I'd hoped.
Never hurts to have around, but no longer a priority to read every word right now.
