Financial StatementsChris Higson: Financial Statements

Further details about the latest edition of Chris's acclaimed book, Financial Statements: Economic analysis and interpretation can be found on the Books section of this website. The book is conceptual in approach and focuses on the economic interpretation of financial statements. It inverts the normal approach of accounting books and focuses on the integrity of the balance sheet rather than on earnings.
