Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book will be of great value to corporate management trainees, as well as to business school students who want to 'hit the ground running.'" — Professor Jonathan B. Schiff, Fairleigh Dickinson University

"We have effectively used Essentials of Accounting in our introductory graduate level course in financial accounting. Dr. Anthony is clearly one of the leading academics in our field and has demonstrated an ability to communicate a difficult body of knowledge to generations of accounting students." — Professor Steven Lilien, Baruch College

"Essentials of Accounting serves as an indispensable tool for teaching and as a guidebook for anyone wanting to understand the foundations of accounting in an easy, highly interactive way. It is simply the best." — Professor Philip DiSalvio, Seton Hall University



Product Description

For courses in Introductory Accounting. The leading programmed text in accounting, Essentials of Accounting is a self-teaching, self-paced introduction to financial accounting for active users of business data, rather than preparers of accounting information (bookkeepers). It presents the ideas and terminology essential to an understanding of balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows. Every frame requires students to solve a problem involving accounting information-e.g., selecting a correct word from two choices, providing an answer, making a journal entry, or preparing a complete balance sheet. Appropriate for undergraduate and graduate, executive, vocational or management training. It has been successfully used for summer reading by incoming MBA students. May also be used in conjunction with software to provide core material in a computerized accounting course. An ideal introduction/review, this supplemental text frees up professors from at least five class sessions in a conventional first course in accounting, and is ideal for those entering or in the first weeks of an MBA program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect as an introduction book!, February 15, 2003
By Y. Lu (Santa Monica, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is required in our class of Finance as an introduction to the accounting system. It's quite easy to understand all the principles by doing the exercises yourself. And the special design of reverse printing and post tests are a big help. I had accounting class before and was often confused with debits and credits of whatever assets or liablities and equity. However, when I'm doing this book, everything is clear - there's considerable details to explain how to debit or credit any accounts. Simple introduction of non-profit organizations' financial statement also quite useful. Strongly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars highly recomended, December 28, 1998
By A Customer
I used this book in a analyst training program in Wall Street. It is an excellent summary of Accounting 001. Clear, short and precise for people who want to grasp relatively quickly the topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for beginner, July 4, 1998
By A Customer
This book is perfect for a person who has a general understanding of bookkeeping but wants to know more about accounting. It makes a good review for a person who uses financial statements but does not prepare them. It is a workbook, so the reader answers questions on each page. This encourages retention of information.
