Struggling with Financial Statement Analysis recommend, reading, through, useful

burning0spear

Hi All,

Having gone through all of the books I am really struggling to get to grips with the FSA section. I have read through both Schweser and CFA books on the topic, but it doesn't seem to be "clicking". Could anyone recommend any other books I might want to consider reading or any useful video tutorials (I find I learn better this way than through reading).

Thanks!

tell me about it, I have gone through the CFA FSA and the videos, still dont remember many things. 　 US GAAP vs IFRS is such a pain, and calculating cash flow from income statement and balance sheet, capitalising vs expensing, ratios, still havent got a good grasp on many important concepts. just too much detail. but i guess the only way to improve is to spend more time on it. no easy way around it.

FSA is the lengthiest section for L1 with too many little details. So it is quite normal, don't worry. Yeah going through schweser videos might be a good idea or try finding any free lectures on youtube.

It's okay to leave FSA and come back to it later. Best not to get stuck on a subject and let it hold you up. There's plenty of time for a 3rd or 4th re-read of FSA.

Cheers

Elan's videos are great. They have some FRA samples up on their website too now I believe...
