An apparently strong balance sheet and impressive reported profits may be hiding all sorts of problems that could even spell bankruptcy.

Recognise the danger signs on the corporate horizon? Compare companies operating in different sectors or countries?

It is aimed at anyone who wants to understand a company's annual report, judge a customer's creditworthiness, assess a company's investment potential, and much more
