How to Read a Financial Report: Wringing Vital Signs Out of the Numbers - Tapa blanda

A valuable resource for translating financial reports into real, meaningful information for investors Financial reports provide vital information to investors, lenders, and managers. Yet the statements in a financial report seem to be written in a foreign language that only other accountants can understand.

It helps readers get a sure-handed grip on the profit, cash flow, and financial condition of any business.
