Widely acclaimed by the press in its original edition, How to read a balance sheet quickly became a popular training and self-development text, and has been translated into more than 20 languages. Almost two decades after its first publication, the book was judiciously revised to cover recent developments in accountancy. The second edition retains the basic content and structure of the first edition but includes new material on the profit and loss account and the sources and uses of funds statement, while a technical note on inflation accounting and an extensive glossary of technical terms increase its usefulness as a reference tool. Shorter chapters make learning easier and more satisfying, and a final quiz reviews the knowledge acquired over the whole programme.
