Analysis of Financial Statements, 2nd Edition

"Recent financial scandals and events have taught us to take a more critical look at the financial disclosures provided by companies. Pamela P. Peterson and Frank J. Fabozzi once again team up to provide a practical guide to understanding and interpreting financial statements. In Analysis of Financial Statements, Second edition, the authors help analysts and investors use these disclosures to assess a company's financial health and risks." "Throughout Analysis of Financial Statements, Second Edition, the authors demonstrate the nuts and bolts of financial analysis by applying the techniques to actual companies."--BOOK JACKET.
