Review
"The book approaches the field of accounting from a "why" (and then "how") vs. "how" (and then "why") perspective
the compelling necessity to understand bottom line and cash flow implications for bad debts or impact on cost of financing and taxes from selling a bond at a discount are critical learning competencies for todays business/accounting student."
"If the purpose of the course is to be a user orientation, rather than a preparer orientation, then Porter/Norton (alternate edition) would be an excellent choice."
