Financial Reporting and Statement Analysis

I first got this book for Financial Statement Analysis college class....I recently bought the 3rd edition..It's mostly the same stuff but the case studies are newer..If you are into ratios and WHAT they mean..Then this book is the book!!...Pretty academic, number crunching stuff though....Not like reading Freakonomics or anything like that...This is an excellent reference book...Don;t let the negative ratings scare you...If you like ripping apart finacial statements..Then get this book..It has the ratio inside the front COVER for crying out loud!! ;)

Stickney's book is not for beginners to the subject, as I believe many of those who have rated the book poorly have found. For those with some background in basic accounting however, it is indispensable.

A good book and great resource for someone interested in viewing FSA broadly. The authors do not forget the importance of accounting and reporting to analysis, however. Very current.

As someone who wants finance, accounting, and strategy all in one book, this does a nice job of integrating things. Current examples are great. Access to solutions to cases would be most helpful
