Extract:

'Analysts need to continue to develop their skills. The task of financial analysis is perhaps easier than it was in the 1980s because of improvements in accounting standards. Nevertheless, analysts need to remember that management pays the auditors to produce the annual reports, and often use the same partnerships for consultancy services. Management will always seek an interpretation of accounting standards which reflects well upon them. Analysts should thus remember to use the notes to the accountes, and beware of the seemingly innocuous note thirty-something which probably contains the scorpion in small print. Further gains will inevitably be made in our understanding of markets, competition, environmental risk, product evaluation and management thinking. The challenge for the analyst is to keep up to date, and spot risks before others.'
