From a student's perspective...

This is a useful companion to any intermediate accounting text. It explains topics in plain English and in fewer words than most textbooks do. The best part about this guide is its detailed index that has come through in the clutch a few times during open-book exams and the cases that we prepare on a regular basis. I recommend this book to finance-focused MBA students and anyone who has a job that involves interpreting financial statements or FASB documents.
