 Grim, grinding, and expensive; this is the the best you can get June 5, 2007

My qualifications: BA in Business, BS is Accountancy, MBA finance, CPA, Corporate Controller and Financial Mananger. I've been buying and reviewing new editions of this text every few years for over 20 years now. Why? Becasue if accountancy is your profession you cannot afford not to be completely up to date. Things change. Even all you want to do is make a decent salary and vegetate somewhere, someone is trying to bury you and take your job (or your company). Count on it. It is about competiveness, survival, and prospering. When can you quit studying? Never.
This is the text to put you ahead. I have seen shorter, more simple, less comprehensive, and much cheaper texts. But do you want the competitive edge or not?
There are other non-book alternatives. If your're a CPA, you'll have to keep plugging along with the CPE programs forever (sigh), but they don't hack it in depth compared to this. Even the AICPA's Journal of Accountancy, though highly reccomended, and far more timely than any book, cannot cover the details adequately.
Or you could take a CPA exam review course like Becker's every so oftern. That will set you back a fortune and hundreds of hours of your life. But you will be completely up to the minute on most everything. How long you remember everything after finishing the review course is another question.
"A practicing CPA simply cannot know the answers to many practice questions as they arise but rather needs the ability to find such answers." (NASBA site) This is the one stop text to do it.
A couple pieces of advice. Don't take the text into the office unless you see it (or others like it) on partners' bookshelves. Keep it out in the car for lunch, afterwork, fake restroom breaks,last minute reviews before you go in, or whatever. Also, never ever take it into a client's site. It may sometimes seem like a good idea, but your manager will probably slap you around for it.
Any text is only good for a few years, then spring for a new edition. If you get this text, give yourself some time working through it on the parts that are new to you or give you the most trouble or worry at work. Then consider buying the study guide. It's not a substitute for the book but it can speed things up for you a lot.
If you think this is a lot of work or baloney, try weighing it against not getting a good raise or promotion. Best wishes and good look.
P.S. I'm on this page because I'm buying my latest copy.
Great Text October 12, 2007

This is by far the best accounting text I have come across (Sr. level accounting undergraduate). The authors give explanations of items covered in principle accounting classes. They use great graphics to aid in understanding the material. The chapter assignments are within limits given the available information.

I used a previous edition of this book to study for and pass the CPA exam on my first try back when it was a 2 day pencil and paper exam. This book has everything you need and helps to develope an excellent foundation of knowledge that will help any student who goes on to take a masters level advanced financial reporting class. To those who have rated it poorly, I have to admit that once upon a time I did not like the book. However, the problem was me and not the book. As with any book, it is not of value unless the user actualy takes time to thouroughly read each chapter.

Great accounting book. This textbook is extremely helpful. It's probably the best text out there. I have this book. I want to part with it. Sctops140 at aol dot com for details. I bought this book for my intermediate accounting class at UW-Whitewater. It really helped me better understand concepts.
