Investment professionals too often regard the acquisition of accounting knowledge as a necessary evil - and, therefore, too often know less than they should.This lack of knowledge often leads to simple misunderstandings or even out and out errors that, at best, serve as minor speed bumps in a high-stakes transaction and, at worst, lead to the delay or even derailing of the deals in question."Accounting for M&A, Equity, and Credit Analysts" helps investment professionals as well as undergraduate and graduate students of and investment banking ensure that they will always be able to quickly and confidently get their hands on the right answers to virtually every accounting question. Providing easy-access accounting information without needless detail and CPA doublespeak, this invaluable reference distinguishes itself from other texts of its type in four major areas as it: bypasses common-knowledge accounting basics to concentrate only on information vital to investment analysts; takes an investment banking perspective as opposed to one solely focused on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and reporting; integrates financial modelling and spreadsheet approaches that are essential to forecasting and analysis; and, provides in-depth coverage of items in enterprise valuation and business combination transactions.In the investment profession, few factors are as valuable or overlooked as solid knowledge in accounting.Unfortunately, when professionals seek to increase their accounting expertise, they are too often faced with either cartoonish workbooks or incomprehensible, 600-page textbooks. "Accounting for M&A, Equity, and Credit Analysts" provides investment professionals, analysts, and bankers with only the information they need to understand how accounting impacts their everyday environment. The first investment accounting desk reference to bridge the gap between what is taught in business school and what is actually needed in the real world, it allows investment pros to focus on and truly understand the vital accounting details they encounter every day - and helps them ensure that minor accounting misunderstandings or mistakes won't mushroom into major deal-killers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 193mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 706gGenre: Business & FinanceAuthor: James MorrisRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
