Corporate Credit Analysis
Here is a manual that will
provide any user with a clear understanding of the techniques applied in assessing the
financial strength of any business. It introduces the methods of analysis and provides an
overview of all the key areas for analysis; from the business environment to cash flows,
liquidity and ability to repay.
The text emphasises the need
to understand the nature of any business before it is assessed so that cash flows and
other criteria can be evaluated in their proper context. From this starting point all the
methods of evaluating a business are explained in turn ; an overview of accounts,
accounting policies, financial ratios, financial risk analysis, assessing working capital
and predicting corporate failure.
