Book Description

August 9, 1999 0072299886 978-0072299885 10th
The financial analysis perspective represented by this text is an analytical approach to international accounting. Instead of focusing on individual FASB's that constantly change, it teaches students the concepts behind the standards. The main strengths of this book are its plentiful end-of-chapter material and its use of focus countries to demonstrate accounting systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Professor Says:, May 18, 2001
By 
This review is from: Techniques of Financial Analysis: A Guide to Value Creation (Paperback)
Having read his sixth edition, I was impressed enough with the 10th edition that I use it for the college class I teach. Unlike most books in this area, Dr. Helfert's book is easy to read and VERY practitioner oriented. I truly believe that if you have an interest in financial analysis, either as an investor or from the perspective of running your own organization, this is the single most valuable resource you could own. If I didn't believe that was true, I'd have my students using a different book.
