A "Must Own" Accounting Book

By scott berger - July 14, 2007

I own a small business and I needed to get a basic understaning of accounting. This book ended up being the perfect choice The book is very well written and explains accounting in plain english. It gives you what you need to know in order to study accounting in a format that you can very easily understand. The included study plans are extremely helpful as well as the self tests that go along with each chapter. There are not too many books out there that are this informative. I especially enjoyed the author's style of writing. Normally this can be a tedious topic to read about, but not this book.It's very practical in introducing you to real life accounting.

Save your money!

By CPAtobe - November 15, 2010

I bought this book due to all the glowing reviews here, and now that I have it, I'm thorougly confused--both by the book and by the glowing reviews. In 1999, I took two college accounting courses and made an A in each of them. Now, eleven years later, I am enrolled in school to complete my accounting degree. I bought this book to brush up on my skills before my next accounting class starts in January. I sure wish I had just saved my money on this, and gone ahead and bought a textbook. This book does not explain things well at all. I just completed chapter 4, and I feel like I know less about accounting than I did when I started. Even worse, I have already found several errors, some mathematical, and some are probably typos (amounts put in the wrong columns, etc.). How do I know if I'm doing the problems right, if the answer key is full or errors?

In short, I don't recommend this book for either students or business people. There has to be something that is easier... read more

NOT for the Beginning Student

By Chris Hanninger "CJH" - December 24, 2010

I am a college student whose area of study is Digital Forensic Investigations, and one of the requirements for the degree is a course in Forensic Accounting, however for whatever reason there is not a prerequisite for this course. I opted to take Principles of Accounting to understand the basics and make it my own prerequisite. Since I have a month and a half off school, I figured I would get a head start and start to familiarize myself with the basic principles so that I wouldn't be totally lost in my class. In this previous semester I had taken Investigating White Collar Crime, and easily understood the basics of Fraud Auditing such as shell accounts, check fraud, money laundering, embezzlement and analyzing this using the Benford-Curve Analysis on statement sheets.

I picked up this book thinking that I would get a great basic understanding for my class next semester. My heart sank when I read... read more
