Examples with real bank financial data are used to show readers the step-by-step methods to follow when looking at bank financial statements. The book covers: - The specific accounting rules that apply to banks - How to analyse bank segment reporting - The ratios to use when analysing bank financial statements - How to analyse bank profit and loss accounts - Equity analysis and stock analysis of banks This is an essential guide for all analysts and serious investors who need to analyse bank financial statements.
