Interpreting Company Reports and Accounts
Tenth Edition
Geoffrey Holmes, Alan Sugden and Paul Gee
The tenth edition of Interpreting Company Reports and Accounts guides the reader through the many conventions and complexities of company accounts, explaining how to assess the financial and trading position of a company from year to year, how to spot undue risk-taking and 'cosmetic accounting', and where to look for clues on the quality of management.
This book is intended as a practical guide to the interpretation of reports and accounts. Frequent reference is made to the legal and accounting requirements in the UK, both as regards IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and UK GAAP (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). This is done in the context of interesting information to look out for, rather than how a set of accounts should be prepared.
Packed with relevant real world examples, this highly accessible book shows readers how to analyse company reports and accounts, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The analysis is illustrated with numerous published accounts extracts and examples and references to corporate websites
