Revised and up to date, the Second Edition includes valuable
information that addresses questions such as:

disclosures?

* What should you look for in financial disclosures when judging a

Throughout Analysis of Financial Statements, Second Edition, the
authors demonstrate the nuts and bolts of financial analysis by
applying the techniques to actual companies. The authors set the
stage for financial analysis in Part One with their discussions of
financial statements and the quality of financial statements. In
Part Two, they walk you through how to judge a company's financial
health using financial disclosures in financial ratio analysis,
earnings analysis, and cash flow analysis. In Part Three, the
authors take analysis a step further by discussing how investors
and creditors can use financial statements to more effectively
assess a company's performance and risk. Peterson and Fabozzi wrap
