I’m a student reviewing an Annual Report for an investment analyst assignment. If a company is trying to hide bad performance/ numbers and highlight good ones - What are some accounting or report layout tricks to do so ? And how can a good reader see between the lines? Thanks

Hello amazing people. I currently work in CA as a HH RN and planning on relocating to MI in couple months.
I’m not sure about the most efficient way to proceed. Is it best to start as a travel HH RN? Do I apply directly with an agency that offers relocation benefits?….I have over 15 YOE, what’s the pay like in MI?
Thank you all for your help!
