A no-holds-barred look at the shortcomings in today's financial reporting standards­­with a prescriptive program for change

Financial reports today have become hopelessly complex, and impossible for investors and other capital markets professionals to understand. This hurts everyone involved.

Quality Financial Reporting outlines the rules for QFR, a financial reporting revolutionin which essential figures are reported clearly, truthfully, and in a language that everyone can understand.

Quality Financial Reporting is groundbreaking in its theory, comprehensive in its presentation, and destined to become required reading for accountants and investors alike. A long-overdue recipe for change, it provides readers with:

  • Strategies and techniques for adopting a QFR standard
  • Relevant empirical research that supports QFR
  • End-of-chapter evaluation checklists and questions

"Accounting is the language of business. In recent years, too often language has been distorted to the point of becoming unintelligible. This book is a step toward restoring its usefulness."

Focus investor must read! Rating

I believe all of us would agree that GAAP in its current form has many problems accurately reporting the truth regarding a company's financial picture to the users of financial statements. An excellent book entitled "Quality Financial Reporting" should be required reading for all focus investors as it provides an impressive overview of what is wrong with GAAP, why FASB has been unable to function properly, and suggests possible solutions.

The authors are straight shooters and as such I think they will find no friends among the accounting "establishment" but they certainly point out the flaws in GAAP thereby helping focus investors better understand the financial statements they are examining.

A Refreshing Twist on Financial Reporting Shortcomings Rating

The strength of the book is that it is easily understandable for the layman, but lays out financial reporting issues and logical directions to proceed for the accounting and financial reporting community. I hope it causes a stir.I also found it very entertaining.
