Not even an answer key to the exercises,
By SERGIO RAMIREZ GUERRERO (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Accounting: In an Economic Context, 5th Edition (Hardcover)
The book is easy to understand, but there should be a solutions manual, or at least an answer key to the exercises. It has been very difficult for me to "learn the mechanics" and "apply the concepts" at the end of each chapter. The pace of the course allows the teacher to solve only 2 or 3 exercises in class, and the book certainly does not make selfstudy easy. Needless to say, that you can't learn financial accounting just by reading. To makes things even worse, a study guide, which does not refer to the same exercises in the book, is out of print.

Good book for non-accountants,
By David Carter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Financial Accounting in an Economic Context (Hardcover)
Back in the early 90's I took Professor Pratt's class when he was on loan to the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern. His book had not yet been published but he gave all of us copies of the manuscript for the course. So..I needed to replace that version since it had long since fallen apart. This book is great for non-accountants who wish to enhance their understanding of annual reports and interpretation skills. As anyone who has glanced through an annual report can attest, they are not terribly straightforward in identifying changes in the financial status of a company that are less than flattering. They tend to 'accentuate the positive.' Jamie Pratt teaches how to see through these reports to more accurately assess a company's financial condition. Don't expect to be spoon fed by reading this book. Like any complex system, becoming proficient requires study and understanding of fundamental concepts. If you are willing to commit some time, this book will provide the necessary tools.

Not enough student resources,
By J.M. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Financial Accounting in an Economic Context (Hardcover)
There are no answers provided for any exercises. No online help either like most modern textbooks. YOu have an option to pay more money to get the study guide. This book is simply a tool to rack up more money, not to help students.
