3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for the money, February 9, 2005

This review is from: Wiley CPA Examination Review 2004, Business Environment and Concepts (Paperback)

Compared to the other CPA exam books I've tried (Bisk, Becker, MicroMash), this book is pretty good for the money. Some of the topics they discussed in this book (i.e. the chapter on economics and cost management) definitely requires you to have some exposure to these areas. If you graduated with only an accounting degree and were not exposed to these areas, you may have a difficult time understanding this. Also, as I was going through the practice questions, I found a few errors in the answers. My recommendation would be that for the money, I would go with the books published by Bisk.
