Learn to understand and examine financial statements like an analyst
Crash Course begins with an analysis of basic accounting rules and their impact on real-world situations, and then analyzes the structure and composition of the key financial filings (10K, 10Q, 8K, etc...). Financial statements are then introduced, analyzed, and methodically deconstructed; the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and their important interaction are thoroughly analyzed and discussed line-by-line. Finally, Crash Course concludes with a discussion of ratio analysis, tying together earlier concpets in the book.
