<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Wenn vorläufige Schätzungen ergeben, dass der tatsächliche Gewinn die Erwartungen nicht erfüllt, greifen manche Manager zur Stützung des Aktienkurses ihres Unternehmens häufig zu kreativen Buchführungstechniken, um die Bilanzgewinne zu frisieren. Das frühe Erkennen irreführender Ergebnisse bietet jedoch die Chance einer rechtzeitigen Korrektur und damit zur Vermeidung von überraschenden Negativerträgen und Kursrutschen. Dieses Buch erklärt Buchsachverständigen und Finanzexperten, welche Möglichkeiten Unternehmen haben, um das Finanzergebnis falsch darzustellen. Darüber hinaus schult es das Auge von Finanzanalysten und Buchsachverständigen, irreführende Zahlen in Bilanzen rasch zu erkennen. The Financial Numbers Game erläutert umfassend die Buchführungsprobleme, die heute so akut sind und weist auf mögliche Zeichen von Gewinnmanipulationen hin. Mit Checklisten, die sofort einsatzfähige Instrumente zur Aufdeckung von Buchführungsmanipulationen bieten. Ein unverzichtbarer Ratgeber für die Praxis.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Praise for <b>THE FINANCIAL NUMBERS GAME</b> <p>"So much for the notion 'those who can, do--those who can't, teach.' Mulford and Comiskey function successfully both as college professors and real-world financial mercenaries. These guys know their balance sheets. <i>The Financial Numbers Game</i> should serve as a survival manual for both serious individual investors and industry pros who study and act upon the interpretation of financial statements. This unique blend of battle-earned scholarship and quality writing is a must-read/must-have reference for serious financial statement analysis."</br> <b>--Bob Acker, Editor/Publisher, <i>The Acker Letter</i></b> <p>"Wall Street's unforgiving attention to quarterly earnings presents ever-increasing pressure on CFOs to manage earnings and expectations. <i>The Financial Numbers Game</i> provides a clear explanation of the ways in which management can stretch, bend, and break accounting rules to reach the desired bottom line. This arms the serious investor or financial analyst with the healthy skepticism required to drive beyond reported results to a clear understanding of a firm's true performance."</br> <b>--Mark Hurley, Managing Director, Training and Development, Global Corporate and Investment Banking, Bank of America</b> <p>"After reading <i>The Financial Numbers Game</i>, I feel as though I've taken a master's course in financial statement analysis.

The book focuses on educating investors on how to spot "creative accounting Practices." Co-Author Charles W. Mulford outlines a few basic guidelines for detecting-and preventing-creative accounting."
