Could have been better.......2007-08-25
The author of the book goes over the top in derivation in his calculations. It's almost as if he's trying to show off instead of keeping the math simple and relevant. However, considering the other books for this topic, there are no better.
Book Description

Unlike other books in the field, it offers straightforward and lucid explanations of all main formulas needed to carry out financial analyses. The math is kept simple and is fully explained, making the book accessible to non-technical personnel. Numerous sample problems are provided, and can be worked on standard spreadsheet programs, as well as using interest rate tables. The book shows how to link quantitative data to management decisions and to standard reporting forms and has been designed for practicing engineers and students alike. Economic and Financial Analysis for Engineering and Project Management is a "must have" for graduate students in engineering management departments; graduate and undergraduates taking courses in project management, engineering economics, and engineering finance. Practicing engineers will find this book THE handy reference for any project involving financial analyses.
Customer Reviews:
Misleading Title.......2002-11-15
This book should not be recommended for engineering and project management. Its title is misleading.
Its contents are way too simple to be considered even as a text book for College. I work at a bank and I thought I was buying a book that would help me improve my skills as a project analyst... I feel deceived.
Another thing... its price is too high in relation to its quality (contents, design and materials used)

Customer Reviews:
A MUST HAVE.......2007-08-23
Fabrycky and Blanchard go deep into the subject allowing the reader to bluild its own model.
It could be complemented with some step by step on finance, mainly for the ones not familiar with discounted cash flow, money value over time, etc.
Also, the book deserves a more modern lay-out with the use of colours and a better content flow.
Overall a MUST HAVE on the field, with very rich content.

Excellent Intro to Financial Statement Analysis.......2006-08-10
Mr. Johnston's book is an excellent read for those that are looking for a concise, easy to understand introduction to financial statement analysis. He gives a simple overview of different methods of valuation, discusses issues regarding funded/un-funded pensions and even goes over pooling of interest mergers and such. I was not so much interested in the oil accounting part of the book but rather the financial statement analysis part of the book. His book was well worth it if that is what you're looking for.
P.S. The summary of the book says it is 28 pages. This is incorrect. It's probably about 300 pages.

Why Go Offshore?.......1999-10-16
Many Americans wonder why anyone would want to take their money offshore. Some might reason that with news of the Dow rising to record levels, inflation being tamed, the unemployment rate standing at its lowest level in six years and the federal deficit being down sharply, that there is no real reason to go offshore. In spite of all the national good news, there are many legitimate reasons for moving money offshore. In a nutshell, all these reasons are based on the fact that offshore rules are different from domestic ones.
Since the French Revolution, the wealthy have moved money offshore to safeguard their assets, to make a decent return, and to avoid paying taxes on their gains. There are currently some 218 jurisdictions that offer these and other special incentives to foreign investors, and many are among the best places on Earth to vacation. For example, the Caymans, three lush islands 475 miles from Miami, do not levy taxes on personal or corporate income, capital gains or your overall wealth. On top of that, the islands' financial-privacy laws can protect your assets from creditors and people who might sue you. It is indeed no wonder why the main street of this tropical paradise is lined with branches of banks from New York City, Amsterdam and Geneva.
The US government frowns on you relocating your money offshore. If everyone could invest abroad and in secrecy and never pay a dime in taxes the federal government would go broke even faster than it already is doing. It is in no way illegal to take your money offshore, even though the government has done its part to try to persuade you to not do so. Although several reporting requirements have been instituted by the government for those who do go offshore, several excellent strategies have been developed to minimize or eliminate them, and for that matter to also minimize any tax effects that such a move might entail.
Furthermore, US citizens are generally required to report income from offshore investments and to pay taxes on this income. Once again, numerous strategies have been developed to eliminate these reporting requirements so that the government will not tax your earnings at a higher rate than if your money had never left home. It is important to understand that this excessive taxation is the government's way to discourage citizens from moving funds offshore because when you move your money offshore, the government loses control.
Some strategies include elements such as chartering your own foreign bank, insurance company, corporation, or establishing a foundation or trust. An offshore corporation, bank, or insurance company is as much a legal entity as you are.
