For those who want to know the real stuff behind the financial numbers
23 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
What this book is NOT: This book is not a detailed treatise on financial statements, ratios and how to create financial statements
What this book IS: This book tells you what is behind the numbers. And it does it really really well. It introduces the key ratios in the beginning and from then on, the chapters delve into various aspects of the key financial statements. It provides real life data using financial numbers of real companies. It deals with everything from what drives (operationally) the numbers and ratios; what kinds of capital a company can raise; valuation among other things.
I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to understand whats behind the numbers and how to effectively analyze issues within the company that impact the financial statements.

Great Text!
9 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
This is by far one of the best financial management books that I've read. Higgins does an excellent job applying financial theory to real-world business problems. His text includes many rich, detailed discussions surrounding many widely-used financial models taken for granted, including but not limited to the weighted average cost of capital and the capital asset pricing model, that you will not find in your typical financial management text. Plus, he's a great writer with a great sense of humor!
