An insider’s guide to the dark and dirty secrets of quarterly and annual reportsSavvy money managers know how to figure out what’s really happening with a company. They know where to look for the good stuff that’s buried in corporate reports. This book helps readers understand how to cut through confusing footnotes and explains why it’s so important now, in light of the recent spate of accounting fiascos such as Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia Communications, and Global Crossing, to pay attention to the small print. By using numerous examples of actual footnotes that have appeared in recent annual reports, the book dissects each word of the footnote and explains its meaning in easy-to-understand language.
