Inside, the authors share their radical findings from examining quarterly earnings conference calls and investor meetings in four major economic sectors, revealing that a company's worth lies in the strategic, value-enhancing resources it holds rather than the traditional assets in corporate financial reports. This groundbreaking process is more than a way to avoid investing in companies with misleading financial reports; it's also proven to uncover the companies poised to capture major market share, but currently burdened by red ink on their books. The conclusions inside fly in the face of conventional investment wisdom and practice, but they were reached by extensive examination of real-world facts and, as you will see, proven in numerous case studies. This thorough resource gives you what you need to gain meaningful insight into a company, including: <ul><li>A comprehensive system of economic indicators that evaluates the performance and long-term competitive position of business enterprises</li> <li>A detailed proposal for how current accounting and reporting systems can be restructured to efficiently serve twenty-first century companies, investors, and lenders</li> <li>Concrete steps to conduct your investment routine to align with the real drivers of business success</li></ul> <p>Make your investing and lending decisions based on information that matters with<i> The End of Accounting and the Path Forward for Investors and Managers.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>..goes far beyond a mere provocation and could be considered one of the most effective reviews on the current status of accounting.</i> (European Accounting Association, June 2017)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>BARUCH LEV</b> is the Philip Bardes Professor of Accounting and Finance at the NYU Stern School of Business.
