评分上市公司的股价通常是和公司的盈利情况(利润)紧密联系的,因此,上市公司往往有很大的动力进行财务造假。 一个简单的公式: 利润=收入-费用 举个例子,开个面包店,一年卖出去面包收到的钱就是收入,和生产面包关联的钱,比如买面粉、黄油、以及面包师傅的工资,是费用(...

评分天下熙熙,皆为利来;天下壤壤,皆为利往,哪里有诱惑,哪里就会有财务欺诈。 可以说目前A股的环境,财务造假成本如此之地,报表不造假或粉饰的公司凤毛麟角。心理先对所有公司的财报都进行有罪推定,然后再去证明其没粉饰。 老师常教我们“心中常有三张表”,太阳底下无新鲜事...
直接看最后一章的总结。
评分证券分析师必读。文笔诙谐幽默,让我狂笑N次,脑洞开了不下一百次。大千世界,无奇不有!讲几个经典的。1.重组费用:一次性计提大量重组费用,给公司洗个大澡,建立预留储备,然后逐步释放业绩,显示新的管理层的能力。2. 低价出售商品,提前增加应收账款同时增加营业额,即使关注应收账款增加也没用,我把应收账款挪一下位置,超过一年的叫长期资产,不到一年的叫应收票据。3. 通过一次性经营活动,如少购入存货,或不转移风险地卖出应收账款,或延长支付期限,提振经营性现金流(但不可重复)。4. 通过不断兼并企业支付的价格叫做投资现金流支出,兼并企业后其应收账款及存货销售产生的是运营现金流收入,即使没有有机增长也能显示不断增长的CFFO。5.为了短期提升盈利录入折扣却在未来原价加折扣购入商品。6.不断篡改绩效指标定义
评分这书豆瓣也有⋯⋯
评分earnings management(manipulation)真是一门艺术,这书用的例子很生动也是比较经典的了,譬如安然把service contract计成commodity futures contract从而适用mark-to-market的“创举”。讲了很多识别骗子的经典方法,例如波澜不惊的revenue下面说不定可以从BS的days in account receivables剧变看出端倪。很好的书,六颗星星。
评分中文版是《财务诡计》http://book.douban.com/subject/10582247/。 不过,还是读英文版吧,除了财务欺诈方法之外,几乎所有含“作假”意思的英文单词都在这儿了,这是啥收获。。。
