Publisher Description:
Heightened regulations - including Sarbanes-Oxley and the newly enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act - have placed greater responsibility upon attorneys involved in financial transactions. General Counsel are now even asked to sign off on financial statements. And they must understand what they're signing.

Accounting is the language of business. And if you can't speak the language, you'll eventually run into errors in translation, confusion in meaning - or worse.

Corporate Counselor's Business Handbook provides very specific, practical guidance, enabling you to:

  • Read Balance Sheets, Income Statements, and Cash Flow Statements with Confidence
  • Understand a Company's Financial Metrics
  • Competently Engage in Business Valuation
  • Easily Interact with Clients on Business Topics
  • Read Annual Reports Efficiently
  • Fully Grasp the Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Types of Debt
  • Identify Problems in a Wide Array of Business Areas
  • Apply Basic Accounting Principles - and Recognize When They're Not Being Applied

If you're an attorney providing counsel on business matters, this book can save you months of study and perhaps years of headache.

Corporate Counselor's Business Handbook has been updated to include:

  • Discussion of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
  • New case study examining the financials of DreamWorks Animation, Inc.
  • Updated analysis of financial statements for Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, Toyota, McDonald's, Target, Starbucks, Sears, Southwest, and JetBlue
