Product Description
OVERVIEW
The most reader-friendly text on the market, Advanced Accounting: Concepts and Practice 7/e brings real-world accounting topics to the student's level, presenting advanced concepts and issues in a flexible, step-by-step approach. This is the only advanced book that completely separates the following three major concepts dealt with in the consolidations area: (1) the general concept of consolidating (2) the concept of a non-controlling interest, and (3) the change or no change in basis of accounting concepts for business combinations. Separating these concepts makes it much easier for students than having to simultaneously learn multiple concepts.

1.0 out of 5 stars impossible book, December 2, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Accounting (Hardcover)
As a graduate student in accounting, I've found this book to be the most difficult and the most frustrating to read amongst my collection. This book is certainly not helpful to visual learners as there is mostly very dull text explanation of the subject material. Also, the few in-chapter examples worked out are very difficult to decipher and are poorly explained, so you're left on your own to learn how to do the end of chapter problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a great book on Advanced Accounting, June 27, 2001
By A Reader (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews
I have never come across a texbook that makes consolidations easy----until now! It seems that most advanced accounting texts are written by Ph.D's to impress other Ph.D's. This one is different. It actually explains in a concise manner all important aspects of advanced accounting in a way that is easy to understand and apply. Unfortunately, it was written in 1995 and obviously doesn't contain some of the more recent exposure drafts on consolidations and derivative accounting for foreign exchange forward contracts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, May 12, 2009
I learn quickly and am good at learning from a text, but this book is horrible at explaining a topic from beginning to end. It's good at giving background on advanced accounting, but if you want to try and apply any of the concepts to real accounting situations you can pretty much forget about it. I used this in my accounting class without a problem to understand some of the concepts, but to try and use this in my current position as a senior accountant working with consolidations and foreign entities is nearly impossible. The examples given are often incomplete and leave the reader asking a lot of background questions.

This book goes on and on about minor details, sometimes repeating the same irrelevant or simple ideas over and over, and providing excruciatingly drawn-out background information... Read more
