[nabs-l] Looking for an accessible way to read financial statements

[Kathryn Webster, NABS President]

Hey Jason,

If you use the SEC site, that has many downloadable documents that can be in
Excel. If you give me an idea of companies, private or public, I can better
help. I have done similar assignments and have found it very accessible once
the financial statements are downloaded.

Talk soon,
Kathryn Webster

Subject: [nabs-l] Looking for an accessible way to read financial statements

Hi all,
I am taking an accounting class, and we are doing a project in which we are
analyzing and comparing the financial statements of two major corporations.
It seemed that Google finance was pretty accessible, but the information was
in a table and there were four different values for each item. I'm supposed
to compare two consecutive years. essentially was not able to decipher which
numbers corresponded with the respective values. I also found some pdf
documents of the statement of cash flows, balance sheet, and income
statement on the corporation's web site, but I was not able to make much
sense of them either. Thus far, I have had my accounting book produced in
Braille, and the brailleest did quite a good job in transcribing them in a
way that I was able to grasp. I have also used excel to complete homework
assignments. However, trying to access actual statements of of a company
seems much more challenging. I may just have to resort to using a human
reader, but I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has experience
with this.
Thank you
