Financial Accounting

This is a great book and would really recommend it. It is easy to follow.

What I like about the Horngren Series is the practicality of it. This series has always managed to hold the number of pages down to about 200 less than its quite excellent major competitors (Weygandt-Kieso-Kimmel and Wild-Larson-Chiappetta). It's still a large-dimension hardcover and this Horngren book has 752 pages. That's plenty of space for a student, and Horngren provides more than enough easy-access online materials as well. Horngren is mainly used by university students although Weygandt-Kieso-Kimmel have gained market share. But Horngren also recognizes that most financial accountants do not need an accounting degree. They need to understand accounting and know how to do their specific jobs. In fact, I've long noticed the small ratio of accountants working in accounting departments that actually have accounting degrees. For them, the Horngren Series is well-designed in addition to serving the needs of college students. Horngren places emphasis on the accounting cycle. In doing so, this textbook covers the actual job duties within an accounting department quite efficiently. That's why I also purchase Horngren Series books. I purchase them for staff as well as additional resource material to help me prepare when I teach accounting courses at the university level. Because if its special niche and top-notch editing, I would expect this series to last through many more editions.

This book was over $150 in my school bookstore. I think I got a great desl, and it came in perfect shape with many extras!!!

This book was a requirement for the Financial Accounting class in my MBA course. I was put off by the price but found it is worth every penny. The overall layout is very logical, each chapter has numerous 'real world' examples and ends with more sample problems than you could ever hope to solve. 'Check Figure' partial solutions are provided in one of several useful appendices.I started out knowing absolutely nothing about accounting, now I have a firm foundation thanks more to this excellent book than my professor ...I will never sell this book

I WOULD LIKE TO BY THIS BOOK PROVIDED THAT IT INCLUDES A SELF BASED LEARNING CD . IF NOT KINDLY PROVIDE ME WITH A SIMILAR BOOK WHICH INCLUDES A CD. TKS AHMED
