Are you looking for a user friendly set of annual report and accounts?

It is getting increasingly difficult to find profit and loss accounts that are drawn up in a simple, conventional manner. So often, they are cluttered up with the effects of mergers and acquisitions and it is impossible to relate the chairman's report to the figures on the page.
While working on updates for the accounts figures for the Student Book, we found The Body Shop. Go to www.thebodyshopinternational.com and select 'investor relations'. The profit and loss account looks the way the text books say it should. The difference between the 2004 figures and the 2003 figures can be compared with the analysis in the Chairman's report. The balance sheet is fairly straightforward too. Its refreshing.
