Product Description
Review
"I think it is an organized and well written textbook. I like the sequencing of the chapters and the introduction of the Statement of cash flows in chapter 4. The main reason for adopting the textbook is its focus on the concepts and methods. It really helps the students put each topic in context."

The 11th edition adds a section on ethical concerns, and replaces

Unfortunately I can't give it 0 stars
25 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
We have used this textbook in teaching an accounting course for many years. This edition has completely dimmed our view of the publisher. They have eliminate the T-accounts and debits and credits sections and moved much of the other materials to a website. The question is why would a person pay more for less.
The good news is that the editor of this edition was fired; the bad news is that we are unable to switch texts so closely to the beginning of semester.
My advice - buy the 10th edition if you can obtain it. It is much more user friendly and contains solid information, the differences are minor and you actually get more material for your money.

Awful
29 July 2005
Format:Hardcover
This is one of the two worst textbooks I've ever used. It is incredibly poorly written, there are errors in many examples, and in general, it makes one hate life and accountants, too. If you are mildly intelligent and can handle a book that uses well-constructed examples and speaks intelligently to the reader, please, for the love of god, look elsewhere.

Recommended text at USC's Executive MBA program
5 Nov 2005
Format:Hardcover
I didn't buy this book - it came as part of my tuition at the University of Southern California (Go Trojans!!!) Marshall School of Business's Executive MBA program tuition.
I really liked the book whenever I did manage to find time to read the text. The example are practical, and I now see how a good knowledge of financial accounting can benefit a General Manager, especially when it comes to valuation of securities, and even general accounting principles.
It helped that we had an absolutely amazing professor - Mark DeFond - teach us the subject.
Cheers!
