Interpreting Company Reports and Accounts Summary

Interpreting Company Reports and Accounts by Geoffrey Holmes

This classic text known as "the analyst's Bible" guides the reader through the conventions and complexities of reports and accounts, explaining how to assess the financial and trading position of a company from year to year, how to spot undue risk-taking, where and how to look for clues on the quality of management and how to spot "cosmetic accounting". The eighth edition has been fully updated to take account of the latest amendments in accounting rules and benefits from the practical experience of a new author, Paul Gee.
