Summary of Howard M. Schilit, Jeremy Perler & Yoni Engelhart's Financial Shenanigans, Fourth Edition by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The lure of accounting gimmickry is particularly strong at struggling companies that are trying to keep up with their investors’ expectations or competitors’ performance. While investors have become more savvy to these gimmicks over the years, dishonest companies continue to innovate to find new tricks to fool shareholders. #2 The trash hauler Waste Management Inc. inflated its pretax earnings by $1. 7 billion over a six-year period starting in 1992. The company was notorious for finding ways to inflate profits by deferring expenses to a later period. #3 The practice of creating merger-related reserves continued in late 1997, when CUC was about to merge with HFS to form Cendant. In 1996 and 1997, investigators found more than $500 million of bogus operating income. #4 Enron was a natural gas company that, within a few years, morphed into an enormous commodities trading company. Its revenues grew meteoricly, but its net income grew much more slowly. The company’s revenue was reported as if it were growth that was unprecedented, when in reality, it was just the company changing its business model.

Mustache Shenanigans by Jay Chandrasekhar Pdf

Director, writer, and actor Jay Chandrasekhar tells the hilarious stories behind his films Super Troopers and Super Troopers 2 (out on 4/20/2018!), the history of his comedy group, Broken Lizard, and everything in between. Jay Chandrasekhar has spent the past two decades writing, directing, and acting in film and TV. With his comedy group, Broken Lizard, he has produced and directed beloved movies such as Super Troopers, Beer­fest, and Club Dread. Now, with the upcoming release of the long-awaited Super Troopers 2, Jay is ready to tell the ridiculous, madcap, dead-honest story of how he built his career, how he formed Broken Lizard, and, ultimately, how he made Super Troopers. Jay grew up Indian American in the lily-white sub­urbs of Chicago, and he had an outsider’s perspective from the beginning. Instead of taking the traditional acting path, he formed his own troupe, wrote his own scripts, and made movies his own way. And he had an incredibly good time doing so as readers will learn in this hilarious story about making it in Hollywood and directing, cowriting, and costarring in one of the best-loved and most-watched comedies of all time. Part humorous memoir, part film study, this book will inform, entertain, and tell readers what drinking mul­tiple bottles of maple syrup is really like.

Or will she—like everyone else—be able to thwart the wolf's plans?
