Not so bad

I have used this book for my Financial Statement Analysis class at my MBA program and I can not say it was a bad book. Since I am neither a business nor an accounting major, this book helped me learn a lot...maybe if you are looking for really very detailed FSA book, it might not satisfy you..........

A good try

We have used this book for the Accounting II class last term. It is not bad, though a little bit complicated. Since I was with an accounting major in undergraduate, it is not tough for me. I guess the author is trying to help you to consider the complicated accounting treatment with the underlying business strategy. Meanwhile, probably he assumes a familiarity with accounting basics of the readers. Overall it is a pretty good text for graduate program I think. Also, you have to pay more efforts to understand it well if without an accounting background.

Best book on FSA I have ever read

I like its strategic focus and case-oriented approach. The FSAP is terrific. In this book, financial statements finally found its correct place: describe the strategic decisions made by management. This book is never dry. Instead, it is vivid, fascinating, and a great reading for anyone who is serious with a career in equity research.
