Techniques of financial analysis

Features

• Wherever appropriate, analytical displays in the text are designed
  in spreadsheet format, with helpful hints for use of built-in
  formulas. This should ease the mechanical aspects of learning, and
  the several analytical templates available with Financial Genome
  are a further aid in ensuring consistency in the approach to
  problems.

• References to sources of financial information are now provided
  mostly in web site format, contained in the revised Appendix III. In
  prior editions, this appendix was strictly textual. This redirection
  of emphasis ties in very well with the growing student comfort
  with the Internet.

• Shareholder value and value-based management have been given
  even more emphasis than before throughout. The previous final
  chapter on valuation was split into two chapters, the former dealing
  with value concepts and basic techniques, while the new Chapter 11
  was dedicated to value-based management, the more common
  techniques used, and the need to integrate financial analysis,
  measures, and the key elements of strategic, operational and
  financial management into a consistent framework.

• Concepts and techniques have been updated throughout, with even
  greater emphasis on cash flow analysis and on which measures
  related to value creation. Additional. Diagrams and overviews have
  been provided. All chapters have been updated, revised and at least
  in part, rewritten.

• End-of-chapter materials have been revised and expanded, ranging
  from simple examples to integrated problems appropriate for use
  with Financial Genome.
