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.
