Radical and major changes in the format and content of financial statements have been introduced by the Accounting Standards Board. In this new edition of Company Accounts the authors fully examine these changes and discuss their impact on financial reporting techniques. Their purpose is to provide a clear understanding of the nature and format of the annual report and accounts of a company as well as a full introduction to the analysis and interpretation of financial statements.
Company Accounts now provides up-to-date coverage of recent developments in company financial reporting and corporate governance, a clear explanation of the use of cash flows in the analysis of company financial information, and comprehensive coverage of the use of ratio analysis in the evaluation of corporate performance and financial status. Throughout, the authors use the financial statements of The BOC Group plc as a practical case study providing the basis for description, interpretation and analysis.
Company Accounts has become an invaluable text for MBA and other students specializing in management and business studies. Managers, investors and others with business interests will find it a highly useful and accessible guide to the understanding of the financial reports and accounts of companies.
