It sounds extraordinary, but it's a fact that balance sheets can make fascinating reading.
It sounds extraordinary but it's a fact that balance sheets can make fascinating reading.
This sounds an extraordinary statement to make, but in fact all truth is very ordinary.
I particularly like Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman. Both writers have wit and imagination and the breadth of stories they tell coupled with extraordinary artwork make for fascinating reading.
Nobody knows everything that's hidden in the balance sheets of banks. In fact, they are completely impenetrable.
The fact is that one of the earliest lessons I learned in business was that balance sheets and income statements are fiction, cash flow is reality.

Accounting does not make corporate earnings or balance sheets more volatile. Accounting just increases the transparency of volatility in earnings.
We are led by lawyers who do not understand either technology or balance sheets.
Nobody is going to invest in the Italian banks unless they trust their balance sheets.
A good reputation for yourself and your company is an invaluable asset not reflected in the balance sheets.
What counts is not what sounds plausible, not what we would like to believe, not what one or two witnesses claim, but only what is supported by hard evidence rigorously and skeptically examined. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
