2.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of GAAPs, February 10, 2010

This review is from: Advanced Accounting (Hardcover)

This book leaves much to be desired - like information. While it is up to date as far as the FASB requirements, the book leaves a lot of gaps in its instruction. The worksheets are difficult to understand and inconvenient to review. The data that would be critical to understanding certain concepts is missing (or in some cases wrong). Honestly I have never had a book I couldn't learn from before this one. It is simply too vague and would be more ideal for a refresher course than a full comprehensive class for new learners.

This review is from: Advanced Accounting (Hardcover)

This is one of worst textbooks I ever had to learn from. It does not flow properly so a student can learn the concepts. The examples are not do not explain all steps that is required. I had to search the web to understand what they were trying to say.

I was a little nervous because this was the international version of the book. However, it seems to be eaxctly the same as the US version and I am able to do my work and keep up with the instructor and the reast of the students. This was a good investment.
