05 June 2014 Hello,

I am a mid career IT consulting professional (about 14 years experience) seeking to develop a deep understanding of financial statements. I am not an MBA but have deep understanding of business issues of certain sectors due to my process experience in them (IT, Energy Utilities and Healthcare).

I keen to develop this understanding of financial statements because,

1. Personally - I am interested in investing and want to read financial statements, analyze them and invest in stocks
2. Professionally - To develop a more profound understanding of various businesses, models, capital structures etc.

I need guidance on the path I should follow to develop this knowledge base in Financial statements. Recommendations of books, courses etc would be very useful. Any critique of my intentions would be helpful too.

(Just so you understand the level of my commitment to this task, I can take a sabbatical from work for a few months to develop this knowledge base.)

Looking forward to hearing from you.
