Financial statements capture
and report on four key business activities: planning, financing, investing, and operating
activities. To intelligently understand, analyze, and interpret financial statements you
must look for the right information, know where to locate it, and then act swiftly on the
findings.
Analysis of Financial
Statements provides the essential concepts and tools needed by analysts who make decisions
on the basis of information found in financial statements. This book offers a
comprehensive approach to understanding financial statements, from sources of financial
information and the three basic types of statements to the various measures that common
stock and equity analysts can use to assess a company. Analysis of Financial Statements
also includes examples of real world applications from practicing analysts plus review
questions at the end of each chapter.
