Understanding financial statements : a journalist's guide
"Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen ... the list of corporations that flamed out due to crooked bookkeeping keeps growing. Too bad more journalists didn't have the knowledge of Jay Taparia at their disposal. Taparia, who regularly presents seminars on financial analysis to members of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, is a veteran financial analyst with the rare talent of also being an outstanding communicator. In Understanding Financial Statements, Taparia walks readers through the essentials of understanding a company's financial health. He carefully explains how to evaluate financial statements, and takes the reader behind the numbers to explain how companies formulate their financial documents and what journalists should look out for.
