Editorial Reviews

Review

"I have thoroughly enjoyed using both the 7th and 8th editions of Advanced Accounting by Fischer, Taylor, and Cheng. It is an advanced accounting textbook that is current with GAAP and provides ease in comprehension of difficult accounting topics for students. The ancillaries are also supportive of my approach to course delivery and enhance topic understanding for my students. I look forward to the 9th edition!"

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Advanced Accounting (with Electronic Working Papers CD-ROM and Student Companion Book) (Hardcover)
The text itself is fairly understandable, current and consistant. The problems are mostly with the exercises, problems and on-line supplements and quizes, especially for the government and to a lesser extent, the non-profit accounting chapters. Not all of the wordings and answers in these areas have been updated to the current GASB 34 and 35 statements that the text is teaching to. This is a difficult topic to begin with and having these conflicts makes it that much more difficult to grasp the material correctly.
