Packed With Knowledge! - Rated Author Howard Schilit writes in surprisingly plain English, and providesthe reader with a toolkit to determine what's so rotten in Denmark - or onWall Street. You don't have to be an experienced reader of financialreports to learn a lot from this book. Schilit offers more than theory; heprovides specific examples and case studies. Learn about the manager whoreduced future expenses by purchasing $12 million worth of advance postagemetering at the end of the year. Find out how "Chainsaw Al" Dunlop droveup the price of Sunbeam stock by creating a $35 million reserve, all whilelaying off 11,000 employees. Learn the inside story of how Enron becamethe poster child for corporate wrongdoing. We highly recommends this bookto independent investors, and anyone else who needs to understand howunethical execs cook the books. It may not save you from losing a bundle,but at least you won't feel like you're in a battle of wits and devoid ofweaponry. Packed with Knowledge! - Rated Author Howard Schilit writes in surprisingly plain English, and provides the reader with a toolkit to determine what’s so rotten in Denmark — or on Wall Street.

It may not save you from losing a bundle, but at least you won’t feel like you’re in a battle of wits and devoid of weaponry. Undecided (and the spelling mistakes need addressing) - Rated Withholding judgement on whether this is a worthwhile book or not...the spelling mistakes within the first few pages do not give the reader any confidence to take seriously what the rest of the book contains! The real-world examples always seem to revolve around the fact that the author's outfit of analysts issued warnings related to a company's accounts before some irregularities were announced to the market. I think following Warren Buffett's advice not to invest in anything you don't understand would help 99.9% of investors avoid investing in companies with questionable accounting. A very interesting book - Rated This book helps me avoid stocks that blow up. It is a very useful tool that no investor should be without. An informative tool for any financial analyst - Rated Schilit does a great job putting some often overlooked and common financial practices into perspective as it relates to examining the quality of a company's financial reports. Many of the topics covered in the book are conceptually easy to understand and supported by real life examples.
