Title: Whoa! Excellent book to explain creative accounting ...
Review: So what is a shareholder to believe? The analysts? The accountants? FASB? SEC? Who has our best interest at heart? And who can you trust anymore? Caveat Emptor. Buyer beware... I began a search to find the best book I could to educate me on corporate creative accounting and this is it. EZ to understand. You don't need to know debits and credits. I know what to look for now when I study 10k's. It's all in this book. Timely. Published just as Enron broke. Lots of companies mentioned, which I won't mention here. You just might be shocked at what you find out. Chapters include 'How the Game is Played', 'Misreported Assets and Liabilities', 'Getting Creative with the Income Statement, 'Earnings Management', 'Problems with Cash Flow Reporting', and many more. Complete with exhibits, charts, footnotes. EZ read. Have to go now and re-evaluate my favorite corporate annual reports!
