Introduction to Financial Accounting

Used at Kellogg School for Financial accounting course. This book balances simplicity and complexity of accounting very well. Many real-world examples and tons of exercise problems are provided to reinforce concepts better. I would highly recommend this book to anyone new to Financial accounting.

NYU's Stern School Of Business uses this book and its a well-crafted introduction to financial accounting. While taking accounting at the other New York business school, I deep sixed my assigned accounting book and instead borrowed my wife's. It coverage of topics and pedagogical flow are quite approachable and manageable. Struggling friends begain to purchase it for themselves. An excellent book. An interesting book as well. Case examples and references keep things interesting. Not just dry rules.

Accounting is the type of subject that can ramp up quickly in difficulty, and this text plots a nearly perfect learning curve in getting the reader well-grounded in the fundamentals. I purchased this text as a requirement for a course, but it is a definite keeper and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone interested in learning about accounting.

As a first year accounting student this text provided to be very useful in all aspects of my course. Although textbooks are required so this review won't move anyone to buy it, students can be assured this text is not a wasted purchase.
