Company balance sheet analysis

Hi Peter, I am not sure if you have run with this before — but just listening to the talk by Mr Murray from Perennial Value Management about how important it is to evaluate each company’s Balance Sheet to assess it’s financial value — I wondered whether you have ever run a session for those investors who aren’t accountants to show what to look for when looking at a Company Balance Sheet? Not just to talk about it, but to show an actual Company Balance Sheet and the critical figures (columns) that one should look for. Even if you have in the past, I’m sure that kind of thing bears repeating every few years.

A: Will certainly take your suggestion on board. I think it is worth exploring, and will talk with my team.
