Uncovering aggressive corporate accounting

Over CFRA's 15+ year history, our team has developed and refined a rigorous, in-depth research process designed to identify situations where reported financial results do not provide the true picture of a company's health. CFRA clients leverage our global team of 25 analysts trained to identify deterioration in a company's operational health by uncovering evidence of aggressive accounting, financial manipulation, and fraud. Companies uncovered through our process and added to our Biggest Concerns List have significantly underperformed all relevant benchmarks.

CFRA's services include:

• Actionable Ideas — our in-depth company reports and Biggest Concerns List provide actionable insights on companies to avoid, underweight or utilize in trading strategies that profit from stock price declines.


• Industry and Educational Themes — industry reports help clients stay on top of relevant operational and earnings quality metrics for several industries while our educational pieces provide insights into accounting issues relevant to the investment community.


• Advisory Services — CFRA's analysts act as an Accounting Help Desk where clients can discuss key accounting issues or trends that pertain to their companies of interest. Our Bespoke Services perform a multitude of client driven projects tailored to meet specified needs.
