5.0 out of 5 stars a good foundation book for payroll accounting, September 15, 2007

This review is from: Payroll Accounting 2007 (with Payroll CD and ADP CD) (Paperback)

This book is very thorough and not too grotesquely boring. Accounting textbooks can seem to drag on and on but the information in this book seems to all be relevant and pertinent. There are plenty of review questions and problems at the end of each chapter and the chapters do build on each other well, so the further into the book, the more questions from previous chapters. Some other nice things about this book are the continuation problems that utilize the posting of payroll accounts and ledger pages to further help the student grasp the content.
The CDs included are wonderfully useful, too. There doesn't seem to be a relevance issue with this text as I have experienced with textbooks in the past.

This review is from: Payroll Accounting 2007 (with Payroll CD and ADP CD) (Paperback)

The exercises in this book are practical and well chosen. You can learn a lot about Payroll with this book. Not everything though.

There is nothing like doing payroll that makes learning payroll immediately relevant. This is the best way to learn a boring subject in an intuitive way. The book would be more helpful if the student could get some hands on real experience.

In the end, you have your employees, your outsourced payroll provider, your accounting and payroll system, your employer or boss and then yourself. Out of all this, you're probably the most important component of the payroll system. You have to decide which policies to use for the organization, if you have any authority. It a lot easier to replace most of the other elements cited than to replace the payroll accountant.

Sure, the quizzes didn't tightly track with the lesson material. Everybody knows this, but you're doing this on your own and not for class, aren't you? You can rise above and learn this subject by using several sources, none of which is the single authoritative source.

This book is worth working with.

Good book, but the problems in the chapter reviews could be more discriptive as to what answer the want.
