4.0 out of 5 stars This book was the salvation of my accounting class..., December 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Financial and Managerial Accounting (Hardcover)

My accounting professor was awful and it was this book that saved my grade in the class. It provides very detailed explanations and summaries of each concept it covers throughout the chapter, not just at the end of the section. The accompanying working papers and study guide were also very informative and helpful.

I'm in an MBA program right now and still refer back to this book for my intermediate accounting course. I'm a tough judge on books, coming from the UC system, and let me tell you - this is one of the best written textbooks I have ever encountered. Period.

This review is from: Financial And Managerial Accounting (Hardcover)

I have read many accounting books but am using this one for my intro to accounting course because I wanted a refresher. It is the most clear and understandable that I have come across. I would highly recommend this book to people who aren't necessarily wanting to get a CPA but need to know enough accounting for say Financial, Planning and Analysis positions.
