Accounting for Governmental & Nonprofit Entities

By J. Grau - April 14, 2008

This is a horrible book! Do not buy it. It is a student's nightmare. If you want to learn about government and nonprofit accounting, you're NOT going to gain much, if any, knowledge from this book. The authors do not use plain language, but talk back on themselves in sentences so that the flow of thought is interrupted and you must eliminate words in order to continue the flow, or switch thoughts entirely and then switch back-many times the subject of the sentence is completely lost and never finished. Many unnecessary comments, such as "need not be discussed here" and "as one would expect" plus excessive references to other chapters and Illustrations that are useless. Very limited on examples; I found it necessary to search the internet for the answers to the questions at the end of the chapters because the questions are not worded in relation to the information stated in the chapter, and the problems utilized account names never discussed in the book.

This book has got to be one of the worst textbooks I have ever had the displeasure of being forced to purchase. Given the common subject, it is generally easier to find detailed information about government and non profit accounting instructions on the internet than it is to find a clear answer in this book. Some of the guidance is so poor regarding the feedback from the test bank questions that my class often jokes about how the PA who wrote it must have been struggling with the subject as well.
