Preface
Why Do You Need This Book? This book adds value to any discussion on the importance and implementation of ratios. A financial ratio establishes a proportional relationship between accounting and market data. If a ratio is isolated and applied incorrectly, it is seen as a number without great significance. However, when well integrated into a global company vision, ratios become powerful indicators that can outline relevant information and identify warning signs. Ratios help us better understand business ventures, especially their strengths and weaknesses. The purpose of this book goes beyond merely listing possible ratios; it aims to explain the concept and logic behind each key ratio. Didactics is key to this project, and each ratio family is illustrated with numerous graphs and practical cases. This information is therefore particularly useful for bankers, entrepreneurs, investors, managers, and obviously, students.
