Customer Reviews

For Accounting

It is good and like new. There is no single mark in it.

Accounting Book

I received this book four days after I ordered it. Very fast delivery and in excellent condition. I will definitely purchase again from this seller.

Exactly What I Needed

This book is exactly what I needed. It's nice having both the financial and managerial accounting books in one book.

great package

I only used the second half of this book (CH16-26) for a principles of accounting 2 class so that is all I am reviewing. It covers everything from corporation equity; long-term liabilities and investments; consolidations; international transactions; cash flows; managerial accounting concepts and principles; budgeting; manufacturing costing (job order, process and standard); annual reports; cost-volume-profit relationships; differential analysis and product pricing; capital investment analysis, and responsibility accounting. This book is well-planned and the internet extras are worth it. There are narrated Power Point presentations, as well as check figures for the problems in each chapter. I really like the Excel templates, you can fill in boxes (it will correct automatically and tell you if your answer is right or wrong) then print them from the internet so you don't have to buy the study guide for worksheets. You do not have to have a code to use any of these resources. I am going to hang on to this book to use as a reference as I continue coursework.

Decrease in service with newer addition

With the 14th edition of this book, the use of the website for studying was taken away, to be replaced with a pay for use service of about $20. My professor would have stayed with the 13th edition had he known that they were going to take away this service to the students. No CD or access to a website for answers to the questions. Book is well written, easy to follow, but needs a more comprehensive glossary, since words and phrases within accounting mean different things and can be interpreted differently depending on the user and with accounting following the GAAP rule this becomes even more important. Practice items are well designed. The Layout of the book demands approximately 100 pages a week for a semester course, for a course in oversight of accounting this is rather hefty. Without a CD or other access privileges, I don't see a need to order this as a new item, go for used!
