More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
A 36-hour self-paced accounting course, guiding the reader along the altered business terrain of the 90s. Aimed at professionals in all fields, who want a fast, no-nonsense introduction to the basic principles and procedures of financial accounting, the book contains 20 concise chapters packed with easy-to-read, simple-to-apply information written in non-technical language. The book features a study plan that maps out the most efficient strategy for using the book, and even suggests convenient start-and-stop points; self-tests within each chapter that ensure reader comprehension every step of the way; and a 100-question final exam that may be submitted by readers for a Certificate of Achievement. This new edition has been brought up-to-date to reflect the vast changes of the past 10 years, from the recent emphasis on cash flow analysis to the 1986 reform and 1990 revenue acts, to the implications of mergers and acquisitions, to the growing use of software packages.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent course in basic accounting,
By capricorn66@skynet.be (Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Accounting Course, Third Edition (McGraw-Hill 36-hour Courses) (Paperback)
The authors did a great job in teaching basic, fundamental accounting. They bring sometimes boring subjects to life through easy to read, and often funny explanations. Reading the book you feel as though the authors are giving you a private course, and the self tests confirm whether you understood all that's being taught. Whether you're interested in the mechanics of accounting, gaining a better understanding of financial statements, or looking for a source to demistify some complex sounding accounting terminology, you'll enjoy this book.

Pointless verbiage around the subject,
By TG "thg57" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Accounting Course, Third Edition (McGraw-Hill 36-hour Courses) (Paperback)
This book breaks all the good rules for the text books. Set your expectations straight: glossary does not exist, index is incomplete, definitions of terms are either absent or given after 10 pages of waterly discussions into the term. Many times book talks about the term without ever defining what it is. No summaries at the end of the chapter. Explanations at first appear to be plain English and simple until you realize that subject is not there.
My guess is it was probably meant for the experienced bookkeepers or accountants who need some high-level essays on the philosophy of accounting. However, section "For whom is this book?" clearly refers to people that have no accounting background or who took a class or two and never practiced it. The only reason why I am giving it 1 star is becuase Amazon does not give me an option to rate it with 0 stars.

More than I needed,
By M. Peer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Accounting Course, Third Edition (McGraw-Hill 36-hour Courses) (Paperback)
This book is a lot more than I had originally bargained for. Though it stated it was a fairly simple and straightforward text after initial read through it became quite clear, that this volume would suit someone with an accounting background already established. I would not recommend this book to start with.
