Understanding Financial Statements: A Primer of Useful Information

Rating:
Summary: Get your feet wet with this one...
Review: I have recommended this book for years to entry-level corporate executives with no financial experience, and to executive assistants in finance departments of large corporations, as a way to familiarize themselves with financial statements. Introduces terms and provides a great base to build on. Many have come back to buy more for staff new to their departments, to give them a leg up.

Summary: Waste Of Time
Review: This is one of those books that expects that you have some knowledge of the material already, and if you do its really nothing new. The examples lack substance. Its a learn everything in "50 Minutes" bbok (Which I didn't notice that until I received it in the top right hand corner). To anyone who is learning this the first time, stay away and go with the other reader's recommendations because you are going to have to relearn this again, and this this stuff is just to dry for that to happen...
