Читать книгу Corporate Finance For Dummies - Michael Taillard - Страница 57

The Internet, with its seemingly unlimited ability to provide free, reliable information, has become a great resource tool for people involved in corporate finance. However, you have to be careful when using online sources because some of them don’t verify their accuracy, and you definitely don’t want to be misled or lied to. Here are just a few sources you can trust:

 EDGAR: This is the SEC’s database website, which provides easy access to a huge number of financial reports by public companies listed in the U.S. Check it out at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

 Investopedia: This online encyclopedia focuses exclusively on issues related to corporate finance and investing. Go to http://www.investopedia.com for more details.

 University websites: Many university websites publish beginner’s guides, course supplements, and other information useful for people with a range of understanding in corporate finance. These resources can be difficult to find on the websites themselves, though, so your best bet is to find them using a search engine. Just type a search for the concept you’re researching; if any of the websites have an .edu domain, then that’s probably a good reference.

 Publisher websites: Many book publishers, particularly for textbooks, provide supplementary information and resources on their websites.
