We have included here a range of resources which we hope will help you demystify corporate finance and market intelligence to some degree.

Jargon is plentiful in compliance and regulatory markets ? so we have built a list of the more frequently encountered acronyms to help you. If you come across others that we should add ? send us an email.

Institutes and Associations play a significant role in all of the compliance markets and they can also be a significant source of guidance on how niche specialisms work. This list is not exhaustive, but covers most of the major professional bodies in regulatory fields.

Government sites are largely self explanatory and an increasing volume of research and even advisory information is available from government sites.

Sample documents includes some of the more common ?enablers? in corporate finance and M&A deal practicalities. The Confidentiality Agreement, or Non-disclosure Agreements (NDAs) illustrate the short and long form of these attempts to keep people honest. Checklists and process summaries are there to help both the initiated and the novice to understand where they stand in the process overall.

The sample company profiles are illustrative of the detail on individual companies included within the full reports. They also explain the ARK character charts and colour coding for 10-15 year financial trends. See also the sample market reports for fuller details of Market maps and the wider context of each company.
