Accounting: Text & Cases is a product of lifelong dedication to the discipline of accounting. Covering both financial and managerial accounting as well as broader managerial issues, the book incorporates a breadth of experience that is sure to enrich your course and your students. The approximately 109 cases that make up most of the end of chapter material are combination of classic Harvard style cases and extended problems, with 12 complete new cases added to the 13th edition. The text is covered as two parts. Part 1 deals with chapters 1 -14 which cover financial accounting, while part 2 covers Chapters 15-28 which in essence is associated with management accounting. The tale end of part 2 also focuses on broader issues of control and corporate strategy. Both parts have been updated to reflect the current changes relevant to Accounting.
This is a great intro to accounting book I am not a math inclided person but this book has been great for me to learn the concepts of basic accounting
Not difficult but detailed.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a very advanced begining accounting text used by Harvard University in its accounting courses. It combines both Financial and Management Accounting and it is extremely detailed. Their are no solutions in the tests for their very difficult problems and I have not found a study guide to accompany it thus far. Do not buy it if you are not familiar with accounting. This is a textbook.
Good High Level Overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I would recommend this text for higher level accounting/financial analysis courses. There are many other books out there to dive into the exact nature of making journal entries etc. so don't think of this as an excellent beginner to intermediate stlye text. The cases are excellent for those who will be making upper level decisions not the actual day to day transactions.
Insightful Case Studies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I can see the point of several previous reviewers that certain additional details flesh out end of chapter case studies. However, I found the writing fresh, insightful, and pointed. Multiple end of chapter resources further illuminated chapter material in detail. In conjunction with a thorough professor, this book is an excellent tool for understanding accounting material.
My reference in Accounting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This title is the most important one in my library when it comes to accounting. It really covers everything I need to know within the subject. No problems with understandability or annoying typos either. Recommended as a first buy.
