4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Summary for those with an accounting background,
By Ron (North York, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vest Pocket CPA (Paperback)
If you have an accounting background and need a quick reference guide to refresh your memories, this is a great book. The authors also provide practical tips in boxes to remind you what to watch out for in particular circumstances. In a nutshell, it basically cramps a few years worth of accounting courses into one very compact book.
For those of you who do not have an accounting background, this book will not be for you since it does not go into any great length to explain any accounting concepts. It basically assume you already know your stuff and simply needs a refresher.

This review is from: The Vest Pocket CPA (Paperback)
This is really a great book for CPA exam. All the important accounting materials are covered in the book, and the wording is easy to understand. The part I like the most is that it has examples for each topic. I think it is a must have book for people who want to take the CPA exam. The book is not heavy, so you can carry it anywhere you want to go.

Enjoyable & Easy to Read,
By
This review is from: The Vest Pocket CPA (Paperback)
The Vest Pocket CPA is a concise and comprehensive guide that provides a quick reference for executives and accountants. The reference is updated for the recent changes instituted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Its question and answer format provides an indispensable aid and its examples add clarity to complex accounting issues. I found this book to be enjoyable. It is an easy reading book.
