About the Book

Techniques of Financial Analysis is a perennial bestseller that has gone through 10 editions and sold more than 500,000 copies and been translated into eight languages. The 9th edition was available to both the college and trade market. The 10th edition came out a year ago and has only been available in the college market (the 9th edition is still sold in the professional market). Financial Analysis Tools and Techniques, the professional edition of the 10th edition, offers McGraw-Hill an excellent opportunity to capitalize on the long-running success of this book. The overriding theme of the book is that any business can be viewed as a dynamic integrated system of cash flows that are activated by management decisions. The college version of the 10th edition featured several changes that will be carried into the professional edition, including: - Analysis of business investments and business valuation is expanded and includes practical examples and linkages to shareholder value - Shareholder value and value-based management have been given greater emphasis - An expanded discussion of cash flow and time value analysis with more refinement in risk analysis, changes in conditions, and various alternatives as well as a discussion of practical analytical and decisional issues against a business strategic backdrop - Addition of Financial Genome, an advanced application software that provides interactive financial analysis and business modeling, makes for easy and speedy financial analysis and allows the creation of a range of past and projected financial statements or free-form analysis The changes needed to make the 10th edition a perfect fit for the professional market include: - Exercises and problems and accompanying solutions will be removed from each chapter - Eliminate student download of educational version of Financial Genome - Include additional comments from author's business clients - Modify text to include more references to business applications of the book - A new introductory chapter provides context for the current valuation turmoil. The theme of this chapter will be to understand the basic economic drivers of a business and the importance of cash flow. The chapter discusses some celebrated debacles and relates them to the major themes of financial/economic analysis. Addressed to the professional manager, this opening chapter will clearly set the stage for the remainder of the book. This best-selling practical guide is a quick and easy read for the non-financial manager and an excellent refresher and reference for the financial manager. It emphasizes the concepts and tools essential for making sound business decisions. Direct and concise, the book includes templates and diagrams to illustrate key points.
