Title: Good reference - not redundant
Review: It seems each new accounting scandal validates this book more that these reviews can hope to. Perhaps the book's importance lies in its chronicle of accounting excesses that we seem to be surprised of by of late, but that Mulford/Comiskey have been quietly bringing to our attention since the mid 90s.... I can see ...that if prior Mulford/Comiskey books are compared, there are similarities. To me that just means they are consistent in the methods they apply - a good sign.The poll of investing professionals is interesting. The checklist for detecting misreported assets and liabilities is a handy reference. The cash flow chapter points out how even the cash flow statement can be manipulated. Good examples throughout keep it moving.
Is the review positive or negative?
