This guide to understanding financial statements assumes no prior knowledge of accounting or mathematics, or even business sophistication. It contains numerous worked-out examples and sample balance sheets which clarify explanations, while end-of-chapter questions make the book useful for self-study and training programmes. Now in its second edition, it features new and expanded coverage of cash flow analysis, Subchapter S corporations, LIFO/FIFO accounting and profit margin analysis.

A Hands Down Great Book For Beginning Managers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Guide to Understanding Financial Statements (Paperback)
This book is amazing in that it gives a comprehensive,consise, and simple explanation for finicial statements. I have read many such books, yet this tops them all for its relative simplicity while still being able to get across its point. I would recommend this book to any beginning accountant, manager, or investor. This book shed light on information overlooked by unexperienced businessmen and is a great buy.

Financial Statements,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Guide to Understanding Financial Statements (Paperback)
This book does not very in-depth into the intricacies of financial statements, but it is a good book and for a newcomer would be very useful. The author does a great job explaining the types of financial statements in a simple manner but still respecting the reader and not insulting their intelligence. If anyone is aspiring to start a business and have no accounting experience or knowledge, this book does a great read.
