Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This textbook's combined emphasis on both the rationale for, and the implications of, important accounting concepts with accounting procedures aids students in the interpretation, analysis and evaluation of financial statements. The text incorporates many real-world examples and financial statements and integrates international topics throughout. Intended for the graduate level, the text attempts to bridge the gap between the preparation of financial statements and their use in various business situations. It serves to develop in students a sufficient understanding of the basic concepts underlying financial statements and to train them in accounting terminology and methods to facilitate their study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for graduate study, August 21, 2002
By A Customer
Many people get this book wrong. This is a book for graduate students, not for undergraduates. It introduces the concepts of financial accounting in a condensed way, which does require more time and patient to understand it, like the way we study in MBA program. Since this book assumes its reader as future statement readers, it introduces finanical statements, including balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement,in the first few chapters to let student understand the linkage among them. It is usually very difficult to understand for those without background, though. Plus, given the fact that this book is required by most of top MBA programs, like Chicago, Columbia, and NYU, I'd like to say that accounting professors have told us the quality of this book. For those who have a hard time on this, I would also recommend its accompanied study guide and solution manuals (used one available on amazon website ISBN 0030269695& ASIN: 0030182697; make sure get the right edition!!). After all, this is a good book, but requires more practices. Good luck.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introductory Text, December 29, 2001
By A Customer
I'd never had any accounting courses before. This textbook was required for my financial accounting course in an MBA program. The book does a good job of logically explaining all the important topics. Unfortunately, it takes a Herculean effort to sit down and study the material due to the dry subject matter.

The authors did a good job of using examples from real firms, which, I think, makes it more interesting. I've decided to keep this book after the course for a reference.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a very good textbook, December 23, 1999
By Jimmy Jones (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This textbook is not very good. The chapters do not cover the subject material very well at all.

More advanced subjects are not covered in the book and you are instead referred to a website. That is ridiculous. The treatment of inventories is especially terrible.

I would not recommend this book.
