There's a dude teaching at Columbia named Doron Nissim, he has several materials on analysing financials & spotting weird patterns (not necessarily fraud but like leading indicators for future drops in performance). He's quite dry but the materials are pretty good and, crucially, quite actionable.

That's the 530 page paper he gives to students, you can use it as a tool to specifically research line items.

Yes, as long as one figures out the flow of a non-US company's annual reports.
thanks Dick, you are the best
