Books by Geoffrey Holmes

Interpreting Company Reports and Accounts guides the reader through the conventions and complexities of company accounts, explaining how to assess the financial and trading position of a company from year to year, how to spot undue risk taking and cosmetic accounting and where to look for clues on the quality of management. Packed with interesting real world examples, this is a highly practical book which shows readers how to analyse company reports and accounts, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The analysis is illustrated with over 200 extracts/examples from published accounts

Geoffrey Holmes shows how early and mid-Georgian Britain used its expanding wealth, its new-found social cohesion at home and its international influence abroad to become not only a European but an imperial power.
