4.0 out of 5 stars
Good reference for valuating companies using financial statements,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Financial Statement Analysis: A Valuation Approach (Paperback)
I used this book in two "Business Analysis using Financial Statements" financial accounting classes and found it to be useful the few times I needed to use it as a reference.
The text represents what I think is a fair mix of both accounting (the reading and interpretation of financial statements) and finance (the valuation) perspectives. It contains more or less what I would have expected from a book with "A Valuation Approach" in the title: multiples, various valuation models (DCF, APV, etc), etc. But it's technically an accounting book in my mind, so it also contains examples for all of the major topics that it covers using 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and other SEC statements as examples.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Ensure that the CD is included,
This review is from: Financial Statement Analysis: A Valuation Approach (Paperback)
The book description does not say that the book should come with a CD - which is integral to the product.
The book is easy to read and up to date for when it was written; very practical.
