5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, to the point, October 30, 1999

Jose A. Villanueva (Quakertown, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NYT Analyzing Financial Statements: 25 Keys to Understanding the Numbers (The New York Times Pocket Mba Series) (Paperback)

You can find plenty of textbooks that will march you wearily through 300 pages of accounting marginalia. But if you want a short course on how to approach an annual report, your best bet is this book. The book explains every accounting term that shows up in ordinary annual reports.

This review is from: NYT Analyzing Financial Statements: 25 Keys to Understanding the Numbers (The New York Times Pocket Mba Series) (Paperback)

This book is extremely comprehensive in its content. The key concepts explored are written in an easy to understand format with detailed, real-life business situations. The author uses accurate accounting practices that both a beginner, and professional can learn from. This is one of the best resources I have purchased and at an incredible bargain.
