Financial Accounting Study Guide Arrived in excellent, brand new condition. Came in a timely fashion. Great study guide with review and practice questions. | ||
Not a good book from a student point of view, but serves the purpose I bought this book because it is required for my Financial Accounting course. The book serves its purpose, which is to introduce the world of financial accounting to student like me who has no business background. However, the author has injected a lot of personal opinions into the text, which some are really biased. For example, the author emphasize on the mis-trust between management and investor. There is, to some extent especially after the scandals of Enron and WorldCom, but author has exaggerated it. Also, my professor, a former CFO, pointed out some formulas and pratices on the book have no value in the real world. The plus side is that the text in the book is not hard to understand. | ||
Speedy Delivery I got the book three day after I ordered. Incredible fast ..... Thanks for doing me a favor. | ||
Not even an answer key to the exercises The book is easy to understand, but there should be a solutions manual, or at least an answer key to the exercises. It has been very difficult for me to "learn the mechanics" and "apply the concepts" at the end of each chapter. The pace of the course allows the teacher to solve only 2 or 3 exercises in class, and the book certainly does not make selfstudy easy. Needless to say, that you can't learn financial accounting just by reading. To makes things even worse, a study guide, which does not refer to the same exercises in the book, is out of print. | ||
Confusing The text is very confusing. | ||
