Editorial Reviews

Review

"I like the chapters included and how they are organized for a typical 15-week course. The organization suits how I teach my course. Students find the text easy to read. Students like the additional features such as Data Mining and Business Context."

"The sidebars were interesting and applicable. The end of chapter questions, exercises, and problems provide good coverage of the material and sufficient variation. I also liked the sequencing of the chapters."

4.0 out of 5 stars Well presented, but you need the study guide., October 24, 1999

By 

Andy Packard "Andy" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Financial Accounting: Concepts and Applications (Hardcover)

This book, actually two sold as one, has a ton of exercises, with NO useful answers--as though a ploy to force you to buy the study guide. On retrospect: buy the study guide if you hope to actually DO any exercises as part of your learning. (Note to autors: break this into the TWO books you know it is, and add the answers to the odd-numbered questions, eh?)

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a keeper! Two thumbs up!, June 20, 2010

UAH Dirk "Dirk" (Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Financial Accounting, Reporting and Analysis (with 1-year Access to Thomson ONE, Business School Edition) (Hardcover)

I just started taking MBA classes, and Financial Accounting is one of my foundation classes. Our professor insisted in using the outdated version, although the latest edition would be not so much off, from what I heard.

I am half way through the book at this time, and so far I can say that it is a very well written, easy to read and understandable textbook. The reader is systematically introduced to the essentials of Financial Accounting. Being an engineer, the whole area used to be somewhat a book with seven seals for me, which seemlessly opens up now chapter by chapter.

The manifold examples and question sections at the end of each chapter help a lot to strengthen the just acquired knowledge. With a grain of salt, though, the book itself does not provide any solutions to the questions and examples.
I presume the book is not intended for self studies, but it could very well be, if the solutions would be available. Thank goodness, those were provided to us by our professor, so I assume there should be a teacher's version or a separate solutions book out there.

As soon as I finish the class I might come back to add more.

For people who don't know any thing about accounting (like me) this the book for you. it starts with the basic concept then explane the more diffecult one in the rest of the book.
