Each week we will highlight one of the many databases we have here at the Pomerantz Business Library.
The database: RMA Annual Statement Studies/eStatements Online
Where to find it: You can find it here, and under R in the databases A-Z list.
For over 95 years, RMA’s Annual Statement Studies® has been the industry standard for comparison financial data. Material contained in today’s Annual Statement Studies was first published in the March 1919 issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
