How to read Annual Reports? (1 Viewer)

[tau281290]

I think I shoud start learning this since i have some time after the trials.

I got a whole stack of company annual reports. I don't know where to start, but I just need someone to point me out on where should i start. How do I understand them?

Anyone read them for fun? (may be too high an expectation)

Well, here is a common one from BHP Billiton

start from the accounting policy disclosures and continue with rest of the notes. or better yet take over the counter sedatives to help with your insomnia.
