Can anyone recommend a good book? I haven't done any since uni, and that was financial analysis which is actually what I need to re-focus on. Any great books out there that start from scratch again?
Thanks
 
Let me try and be more clear, I work in a bank and want to move into a position that will likely require more financial statement analysis, I would imagine things such as ROI/ROCE/gearing etc. nothing too hectic but probably some equations etc. I just want a basic maths refresher book. Cheers!
 
If you live anywhere near a university, I'd recommend going to its nearest bookshop and asking them for a first year book in the subject you're looking for (I assume it would be actuarial maths?). I'd assume most university bookshops will have a list of required books for at least first year, Blackwells at Edinburgh Uni certainly did the last time I was there.
 
Try 'Financial Accounting for Decision Makers' by Peter Atrill and Eddie McLaney. Covers all the ratios you mentioned.

This is exactly what i'm after, thanks very much and thanks to everyone else, some interesting links I will check out.
