good.

Pretty sure there is an Asia Pacific edition but read the edition in uni back in the day. It was provided to the class with a PDF link and was able to use it in class. I think there is a similar valuation book from Aswath Damodaran that is based on reviews comparable. I have that one to read so may come back to update. Otherwise case studies were the highlight. Maybe review the contents for the company names then do a search for them for your own analysis.

comparisons of IFRS and GAAP are interesting

Textbook for financial analysis of businesses. I felt like it was put together from different pieces and didn't contain full mental models of the issues discussed.

It contains information on:
- competitiveness analysis
- basic accounting rules
- financial statement analysis (also motives for management to use accounting rules to suit their bonuses and how to spot them e.g. changes of rules without adequate reason)
- financial forecasting
- valuation techniques (DCF, Discounted Abnormal Earnings, Price Multiples - no mention e.g. price to multi-year multiples like CAPE)
- credit analysis
- mergers and acquisitions analysis (pricing, financing, friendly vs hostile)

In summary the book contains valuable information but it is not a great book.

its foucs more on finance than accounting , i found some difficalte with the way of book but its good ..
