Financial accounting is generally thought of as a very precise science. This book seeks to dispel this myth. Even absent fraudulent manipulation, information contained in financial statements can be woefully misleading and incomplete.Written primarily for non-accounting students, small business owners, and advisers to small business, the book demonstrates how accounting information contained in financial statements both informs and misinforms statement users.
