All around the world, business school professors tell their students to read the Financial Times, The Economist, and other such business publications, in order to gain a better understanding of the business world. Great advice ... except for two little problems.

The financial press does not write the news for students. As a result, it can often be hard to work out which stories are relevant to your studies, and what that relevance might be.

In this episode, I take one single day's edition of the Financial Times, and talk through what sort of stories are worth looking out for and which are best to ignore, picking out around half a dozen stories of relevance to your accountancy and business studies.

With two of the Big 4 Accounting firms getting a mention, one of the World's biggest car companies, a major bank, and a recent massive fraud, there is plenty for everyone in this episode.
