Rather than taking financial statements at face value, you’ll learn practical and straightforward analytical techniques for uncovering the reality behind the numbers. This fully revised and up-to-date 5th Edition offers fresh information that will help you to evaluate financial statements in today’s volatile markets and uncertain economy. The declining connection between GAAP earnings and stock prices has introduced a need to discriminate between instructive and misleading non-GAAP alternatives. This book integrates the alternatives and provides guidance on understanding the extent to which non-GAAP reports, particularly from US companies, may be biased. Understanding financial statements is an essential skill for business professionals and investors. Most books on the subject proceed from the questionable premise that companies' objective is to present a true picture of their financial condition. A safer assumption is that they seek to minimize the cost of raising capital by portraying themselves in the most favorable light possible. Financial Statement Analysis teaches readers the tricks that companies use to mislead, so readers can more clearly interpret statements. Learn how to read and understand financial statements prepared according to GAAP and non-GAAP standards Compare CFROI, EVA, Valens, and other non-GAAP methodologies to determine how accurate companies’ reports are Improve your business decision making, stock valuations, or merger and acquisition strategy Develop the essential skill of quickly and accurately gathering and assessing information from financial statements of all types Professional analysts, investors, and students will gain valuable knowledge from this updated edition of the popular guide. Filled with real-life examples and expert advice, Financial Statement Analysis, 5th Edition , will help you interpret and unpack financial statements. Review: A great introduction - The book covers a wide range of tools that are used in the financial statements analysis. There are a lot of real-life use cases that stress the limits of these tools and how they could have been used to avoid a risky investment. I'd say, it can be used as an introduction to the world of analysis; however, this is not an easy read. I've re-read it twice and started it anew even more times. The fact that I have started to invest and actually apply some of the advices from the book has has helped me to finish it. Most of the topics should be further researched through Google or sites like Investopedia and some of them require a week+ to settle in. If you're in love with the idea of investment and have little to none experience in the field, this read is totally worth your dollars. Review: Very Helpful - I have been analyzing financial statements for decades and I have found this book to be a very useful resource indeed. The book is divided into four parts.They are: Reading between the Lines, Basic Financial Statements, A closer look at Profits, and Forecasts and Security Analysis. The narrative is written in plain English, MBA not required for interpretation, and the material is relevant to credit analysts and securities analysts. If your looking for a functional and useful guide to financial statement analysis, this book will fit the bill. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,586,282 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #518 in Accounting (Books) #802 in Financial Accounting (Books) #5,533 in Finance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 172 Reviews | ## Images ![Financial Statement Analysis: A Practitioner's Guide (Wiley Finance) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61inl44EdfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great introduction *by A***R on November 7, 2020* The book covers a wide range of tools that are used in the financial statements analysis.
