A Mile Wide And An Inch Thin,
By Robert Pomeroy (Cos Cob, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Corporate Controller's Handbook of Financial Management (Corporate Controller's Handbook of Financial Management, 2nd ed) (Hardcover)
For an experienced financial professional, this text does not add much value. The book touches upon a great many subjects, but does not appear to cover any one in any depth. The book may be most appropriate as an introductory text on the subject on the undergraduate level but not as a practioner's desk reference. As a professional with significant experience in investment banking with a CPA and MBA, I was looking for in-depth guide to the specific mechnanics of the contoller's function.

Yes. A Handbook, Not A Textbook.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Corporate Controller's Handbook of Financial Management (2006-2007) (Paperback)
As the title claims, it's a handbook not a textbook; therefore, it doesn't explain concepts in depth and doesn't support them with examples or case scenarios. It, in fact, like other handbooks just tells or dictates, and the reader must take the principles on faith. Handbooks normally save time of those who just want to cram or learn the principles to forget later on. My recommendation to students is that this book is NOT for you. If you only want this book to pass the course, you would rather buy any "outlines", "crash course", or "dummy series". For all others, it's a good handbook, certainly a good reference as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars
broad coverage but not in depth explanation,
By Tetsuya Morikawa (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Corporate Controller's Handbook of Financial Management (Corporate Controller's Handbook of Financial Management, 2nd ed) (Hardcover)
It has a broad coverage in topics and gives you a reasonably good introduction as well as some tips such as pros and cons of getting into certain types of transacrtions, etc., when you want to look up an topic that is not familiar to you. However, naturally due to the neture of any reference book, you would need to look for other textbooks if you want to dig into more. One thing that needs a little improvement is that there are at least a few errors in calculations and/or application of formulas (e.g. calculations related to lease transactions), which may bother you, especialy because you are looking to this handbook when you want to have a good idea on whatever the topic you are looking at since you are not too familiar with the topic....
