Financial Guru ReviewsAnalysis of company accounts is the bedrock of investment, but how many of us actually do it? Understanding the books that 'demystify' accounts is tricky enough. Some get bogged down in detail, others are glib to the point of uselessness. I found the only way to treat this strain of financial illiteracy was with a cocktail of books of which 'Accounts Demystified' was the most potent. Anthony Rice takes the reader through the creation and analysis of a fictional set of accounts. It is clear and efficient, but beyond that Rice understands the misconceptions those not steeped in accountancy can jump to, and corrects them.Richard Beddard Press and Industry Reviews"An excellent primer on accounting, this book explains in simple language how to understand balance sheets, profit and loss accounts and cash flow statements.
