De la contraportada

Financial scandals and irregularities can occur globally, but most recently have begun a steady climb in Asia. Until now not much had been documented about these incidents, and there remains a significant lack of corporate governance in these markets. Asian Financial Statement Analysis: Detecting Financial Irregularities was created to address this knowledge gap while keeping the global investor in mind. Coauthored by two leading authorities in the field, it is the first ever in-depth study into detecting financial irregularities specifically in the international financial reporting of Asia-Pacific companies.

ChinHwee Tan is highly acclaimed by The Hedge Fund Journal and World Economic Forum and is the founding partner in Asia for a leading global alternative investor, among the largest in the world. Dr. Thomas R. Robinson is Managing Director of the Americas at the CFA Institute and has written and spoken extensively on the subject of financial statement analysis. Together they have created a practical guide for anyone looking to perform effective forensic analysis on the financial statements of Asian companies, generally for the purpose of making solid investment choices.

The first section of the book lays out a proven framework for detecting irregularities in profits, financial position, or cash flow. Its subsequent chapters illustrate the most common irregularities in the Asia-Pacific region and some of the warning signs to look for. Each chapter also includes a useful checklist of different analysis techniques, an overview of the most common games that companies play, and a full case study of an Asia-based company to help illustrate the concepts in a holistic manner. The authors' personal experiences in both global and Asian financial markets enrich the text and offer readers a firsthand look at real world scenarios, helping them further scrutinize companies within that same space.
