Financial Statement Analysis and Valuation: A Principled Approach

The book "Financial Reporting, Financial Statement Analysis, and Valuation" by James M. Wahlen, Stephen P. Baginski, and Mark Bradshaw offers a comprehensive, research-grounded yet highly practical approach to understanding and applying financial statement analysis for valuation purposes.

It outlines a disciplined framework that integrates economic and strategic insights, accounting quality assessment, profitability and risk analysis, forecasting, and firm valuation. The text emphasizes alignment with both U.S. GAAP and IFRS standards, and features numerous real-world examples and case studies, including companies such as PepsiCo, Nike, and Starbucks.

The book explores key accounting principles, such as revenue recognition, inventory costing methods (LIFO, FIFO), asset and liability valuation—including deferred taxes and intangibles—and the analysis of cash flow statements. It also addresses risk evaluation (liquidity, solvency), earnings management, and financial reporting manipulation.

Ultimately, the authors guide readers through forecasting financial statements and applying various valuation methods, including dividend-based and free cash flow approaches, to assess a firm’s intrinsic value and support informed investment decisions.
