Quotes

Those who understand [financial statements] are the vast minority of people who are moving up in the corporate environment.
—Joe Knight

One of the problems with fraud is that you have these companies reporting profit, but it wasn’t real profit, and it was never converting to real cash.
—Joe Knight

Wall street, other investors, and banks have shifted to looking at cashflow as a concrete, tangible number.
—Joe Knight

It’s important never to lose sight of the fact that cash flow almost eliminates the possibility of fraudulent financial reporting.
—Joe Knight

We’re not trying to create high-level financial people; we’re trying to decode [financial statements] for the rest of us.
—Joe Knight
