Financial Reporting and Statement Analysis A Strategic Perspective

Effective financial statement analysis requires an understanding of the economic characteristics and competitive strategies of a business as well as the accounting principles and procedures underlying its financial statement. The premise of this text is that students learn financial statement analysis most effectively by performing the analysis on actual companies. Concepts and tools are presented, followed by demonstrations and applications using real world financial statements. Students learn to integrate concepts from economics, business strategy, accounting, and other business disciplines. This text is perfect for courses on financial reporting found in accounting, finance, and economics departments, and suitable for MBA and upper-level undergraduate courses.Stickney, Clyde P. is the author of 'Financial Reporting and Statement Analysis A Strategic Perspective' with ISBN 9780324201598 and ISBN 0324201591.
