EXCELLENT text

Review Date: April 16, 2009

Reviewer: K. York, Albuquerque, NM

I'm one of those poor souls who had the 'new math' sprung on them in 4th grade (when it was decided we all had to learn Base 2 and get to the Moon) and from then on I was TOTALLY out of the loop in math. Something didn't 'click' and no teacher caught it. I was in the group that a news story said "was ruined for math by the New Math".

Unfortunately, my Master's degree includes managerial accounting. I had to drop that class after one session. Nothing made sense.

This book to the rescue! As an instructor (not in acctng!), I can tell you it is set up very well. Each concept is taught in little 'bites' and I am able to understand each as I go. I did see a review, here, that said the book was a piece of junk. Even though I have a VERY good instructor in this class, I don't think that's why the book seems so good. As I work in it during the week, it stands on its own very well.

I especially appreciate the examples and explanations. We follow a very down-to-earth company through the processes to run a business and keep the books. Nice.

Although financial accounting is different from the managerial I must take, I now have the 'basics'. The authors took a LOT of extra time to make it work.

Our instructor supplies the PPT presentations (provided with the instructor's copy, I assume) for our use, and they are great to print and take notes on. They are also very helpful if you can use your notes during the exams.

This book is remarkably easy to read and fairly easy to understand. There are many examples and practice questions with answers in the front of the book.

A starting book

Review Date: July 4, 2007

Reviewer: J. Gulich, Japan

If you have been out of accounting for a while or starting from scratch it is a good book to start with. Of course the main focus is of getting an overview for the balanced sheet, income statement and cash flow. For someone who is starting in accounting the section F2 gives an inside for financial interpretation and another good point is a lot of cases and calculation examples are included in this revision. But if you are looking for a more deeper insight than this book will only help you the half way to get their.
