The Wall Street MBA personal crash course in Corporate Finance
Chapter 1 of this book is called basic accounting. It begins:
Q: What is the definition of an accountant?
A: Someone who is a problem, do not you, you have a way that you do not understand the triggers.
This kind of tells you the tone of the book.
From there, is in Chapter 1 on the deed financial information. But he tried to put in enough humor to help you keep your eyes open. He reported the story enough (usually fraud), and enough options in the real life accounts (compared to what the tax man that wants the SEC) to provide better understand the strengths and weaknesses of our system.
After about a hundred pages to the Court, there are about 80 pages for finance – No, they are not the same. Here is a description of the risk, expected return, and some stories of companies to act badly.
So, something I’ve never seen it defines a set of false financial statements and results analysis shows how the value of the company.
Everything is done in particular an introductory book very well written, easy, and addresses fundamental issues.

I liked the style of the author, who is very down to earth. It describes a set of questions related to the issue of corporate finance in a very practical and informal. It also tells a little about the reality of knowledge, “Street” and “Street disasters of the past, I suppose. Most other books from time to reply, do not answer the” what “question, but the” why ” question. The author describes in detail how to make critical decisions in the real world. I found some good nuggets of information that I have ever found in a typical manual explicitly. I bought it and I ‘ll keep it, just in case the “theoretical ramp monster” in the clouds and my vision. Welcome to the real world!

Somehow the author of this book speaks about corporate finance in a way that even someone like me can understand and even enjoy! While reading this book, I found myself smiling a lot and even laugh. This guy is a talented writer.
I am a law student (soon to graduate) and I found this book a perfect introduction to a person for a career in corporate law. And lately, with the economy collapses, as it is more and more people every day realize they no longer hide their heads in the sand and ignore corporate finance.
chose law school over Business School, and before I voted Poli-Sci business as a major college, because I found the accounts as a snooze fest complete and total. But it is not nap during the reading of this book. The author is well aware of accounting, as we know it is a snooze fest, and he does everything in its power to sustain interest. All concepts are divided into simple terms, and there are stories at the beginning of each chapter and all.
I recommend this book to many friends and will continue to do so.
