Managerial Accounting

This is one of the recommended textbook for the Managerial Accounting course at GWU. The book is very well written, structured and a must read textbook to understand managerial accounting. I will be keeping this book for the future reference. The author has done a fantastic job in explaining the concepts and by having lot of review problems. The author has also provided a lot of information online http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0073526703/student_view0/ anyone can understand the concepts by just going through the video library. I would rate this book as one of the top 5 books in my MBA program. Many of the negative feedback received on this book is due to exercises being different in the International Edition or for not having received the book while dealing with the third party sellers.

I really learned a lot from Managerial Accounting. The text is very succinct and helpful, if a little too detailed. There is a wealth of practice problems available, even if you sometimes have to dig through them in order to really get to the helpful review. The book would have benefited from having the answers to the practice problems included, but the review problems at the end of each chapter are super helpful. Finally, the real-life business insights are the best I have ever read in a textbook and really made it enjoyable to read.

I had to buy this pricey textbook for my Managerial Accounting class. I started working through the chapters and definitely liked this book. Authors did a good job making the topic easily understandable. I also liked the many real life examples and the friendly voice.

Having used several books to teach Managerial Accounting, I find this to be one of the better textbooks in the market. It is comprehensive and yet written in a way that is easy for the student to understand. The authors seem to know exactly what key points to emphasize. Ideal for a self study course.
