Financial Analysis

Explains the theoretical and practical aspects of analyzing and interpreting financial information to assess the performance and prospects of a company. It includes and has retained its distinctive pragmatic and applied qualities by drawing on a broad spectrum of research results, empirical evidence, methodologies and inter-disciplinary techniques. As such, it brings together related subjects from financial accounting, reporting, corporate finance and capital markets, which are often studied and documented in isolation. Significant revision and updating has led to an increased emphasis on creative accounting, more illustrations and examples from continental Europe, and a simplification of the language and style. For anyone interested in economics, financial economics, financial analysis, and accounting theory.
