A review of Accounting Theory text

In my opinion, this is an outstanding text. It is easy to read and it covers all the important areas of accouning theory. In my view, this text eliminates the need for the student to study sentences trying to understand what is being said. The writing is clear and straight to the point. Thus, one can concentrate on learning, not trying to unscramble sentences for meaning. If you are looking for an accounting theory text, give this one a look-see. My guess is that you will like what you read. Like all theory texts, however, this one does NOT come with much material to assist an instructor (e.g., no test bank, no transparencies to assist in teaching, etc.). About the only thing I found was an accompanying booklet that gives answers to "cases" that are in given for each chapter. However, this is not a serious drawback, in my view. Because of skimpy supporting material, I would think that authors would notice this and "corner the market" by trying to please educators. Given the excellence of this text, my guess is that ample supporting materials would put this text in lots of classrooms. But that is just my opinion.

Well presented and simple to understand. But lack.....

This book has presented the Accounting Theory in a simple to understand manner. It is useful for those who need to acquire simple to understand theories in the FASB. Unfortunetly, the book does not go into the explaining of the many theories in details, eg. the prescriptive and descriptive theories.
