This edition has been completely revised by new co-author John Wild. The three goals of this revision are:
1. Make financial statement analysis relevant to students;
2. Encourage students to think in an evaluative manner;
3. Make the material accessible and interesting to students.
The text has been streamlined from twenty-three chapters to a very manageable thirteen chapters. The new design highlights the currency,enhanced pedagogy,and accessibility for students. (text from the publisher)
