Corporate Financial Reporting and Analysis: A Global Perspective

by S. David Young, Jacob Cohen, Daniel A. Bens

Corporate Financial Reporting Analysis combines comprehensive coverage and a rigorous approach to modern financial reporting with a readable and accessible style. Merging traditional principles of corporate finance and accepted reporting practices with current models enable the reader to develop essential interpretation and analysis skills, while the emphasis on real-world practicality and methodology provides seamless coverage of both GAAP and IFRS requirements for enhanced global relevance.

Two decades of classroom testing among INSEAD MBA students has honed this text to provide the clearest, most comprehensive model for financial statement interpretation and analysis; a concise, logically organized pedagogical framework includes problems, discussion questions, and real-world case studies that illustrate applications and current practices, and in-depth examination of key topics clarifies complex concepts and builds professional intuition. With insightful coverage of revenue recognition, inventory accounting, receivables, long-term assets, M&A, income taxes, and other principle topics, this book provides both education and ongoing reference for MBA students.

[Michael Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Valuable textbook for my financial accounting course at INSEAD

[ETextBookLib · Rating 4 out of 5]

A thorough text that bridges accounting and finance — it teaches you to read the three financial statements and use them to judge a company's health, rather than just memorize the entries. The global-perspective chapters are genuinely useful for comparing reporting standards across markets. A solid core text for finance and accounting students.
