PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION
It’s with a heavy heart that I must pass along the sad news that this will be the first edition of How to Read a Financial Report that will be completed without my dad’s direct involvement. My father, Professor Emeritus John A. Tracy, passed away in 2022. In honor of him, the 10th edition of How to Read a Financial Report has been updated, keeping in mind his undeniable spirit, dedication, and passion for educating you, the reader. His goal, which I carry forward, was always to communicate important concepts and topics associated with reading and understanding financial reports and financial statements. What my dad started, I’m deeply honored to continue. The purpose of this book is helping readers master the art of translating complex accounting and financial topics into easy to understand content that almost any interested party can quickly learn and apply in the real world. So, in tribute to TOP, The Old Pro, the nickname I tagged him with years ago: May the mission he started roughly 40 years ago continue for eternity.
