Financial Intelligence

I have been updating my database of financial information for listed companies. This requires collecting information from PDF documents on the investor relations websites of these companies. The more I do this the more adamant I am that accountants are making it more complicated to access and interpret the financial performance of a company. Annual financial statements are written by accountants for accountants. For a mere mortal without any financial or accounting training it is near impossible to interpret and understand what is going on. This gives me courage to keep doing what I am doing and that is to help the other improve their financial acumen and understand financial performance. If you are looking for more on this then look me up on YouTube (just search for my name "Justin Spencer-Young"). I have just started a Business Finance course. I am releasing 2 videos a week and the first 2 are out.
