Review: "My student feedback indicates a sincere appreciation for this text. The freshman marketing major (with no accounting background) found it very easy to read. At the same time, the senior accounting major found it drew material together in a way that he thoroughly enjoyed using it!"-Corolyn E. Clark, Saint Joseph's University "Chapter 5 (The Analysis of Financial Statements) is very well written and organized. It would work well in a beginning Finance class or in a Financial Accounting class."-Richard Brunell, Concordia University "A very detailed discussion on the topic of understanding financial statements."-Ted M. Hammett, Southwestern Oklahoma State University "The greatest strength of this text is it s readability. The writing style is superb. The examples are well chose, explanations are clear."-Solomon S. Smith, Langston University "I use the text in a managerial finance course because it provides an excellent review of accounting, and a concise treatment of financial statement analysis. ...Fraser provides my students with the tools they need."-Eric L. Blazer, Millersville University "The authors display a particularly effective writing style that is interesting and easy to follow."-Charles Fazzi, Robert Morris College
