ABSTRACT

Financial analysis is integral to business sustainability in determining an organisation’s financial viability and revealing its strengths and weaknesses, a key requirement in today’s competitive business environment. In a first of its kind, Financial Statements Analysis: Cases from Corporate India:

  • evaluates the financial performance and efficiency of various corporate enterprises in India;
  • presents actual case studies from eight core sectors (in manufacturing and services) — construction, cement, steel, automobile, power, telecom, banking, and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO);
  • examines the financial statements on parameters such as financial ratios (profitability, solvency, and liquidity), while appraising their operating efficiency, market potential and valuation; and
  • investigates their implications for larger decision-making and policy recommendations.

It will be an important resource for scholars, teachers and students of business and management, commerce, finance, and accounting. It will also appeal to corporate trainers, senior executives and consultants in related fields.
