Hidden somewhere among all the numbers in a financial report is vitally important information about where a company has been and where it is going. This is especially relevant in light of the recent corporate scandals. The sixth edition of the bestselling How to Read a Financial Reportis designed to help anyone who works with financial reports—but has neither the time nor the need for an in-depth knowledge of accounting—cut through the maze of accounting information to find out what those numbers really mean. Readers will receive a quick, but thorough introduction to financial reports, and learn how to decipher the information in them.
