Understanding Company Financial Statements

Understanding Company Financial Statements (1983) – R.H. Parker (Pelican Books)

Ever stared at a company’s balance sheet and thought it looked like ancient hieroglyphics? Back in 1983, R.H. Parker sat down and wrote this neat little guide to demystify the dark arts of profit and loss, assets and liabilities, and all those figures accountants seem to invent to keep the rest of us confused.

Published by Pelican (when they were still in the business of making the general public smarter), this book is part time capsule, part practical guide. Sure, some numbers may be in pounds sterling from the Thatcher era, but the basics of understanding a company’s financial statements haven’t changed all that much.

Perfect if you want to:

• Impress colleagues with your sudden fluency in accounting jargon.

• Decode those intimidating annual reports.

• Or just enjoy a good rummage through an accessible 80s paperback with classic Pelican vibes.

This copy comes with that delightful "read and loved" aura you only get from Crappy Old Books. A solid addition for anyone who wants to understand business without having to take an MBA—or sell their soul to the Big Four.

Great condition, only one small crease in colver.
