Product Description
Review
"I like the text and use it because it provides the best, systematic coverage of the topics."
"I think it is an organized and well written textbook. I like the sequencing of the chapters and the introduction of the Statement of cash flows in chapter 4. The main reason for adopting the textbook is its focus on the concepts and methods. It really helps the students put each topic in context."

Product Description
This widely respected financial accounting text captures the predominant market share among graduate, MBA, and higher-level undergraduate programs. With great clarity, it presents both the basic concepts underlying financial statements and the terminology and methods that allow students to interpret, analyze, and evaluate actual corporate financial statements.

Unfortunately I can't give it 0 stars, Aug 25 2005
By accounting guy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Financial Accounting: Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (with 1-Year Access to Thomson One, Business School Edition) (Hardcover)
We have used this textbook in teaching an accounting course for many years. This edition has completely dimmed our view of the publisher. They have eliminate the T-accounts and debits and credits sections and moved much of the other materials to a website. The question is why would a person pay more for less.The good news is that the editor of this edition was fired; the bad news is that we are unable to switch texts so closely to the beginning of semester.
My advice - buy the 10th edition if you can obtain it. It is much more user friendly and contains solid information, the differences are minor and you actually get more material for your money.

Awful, July 28 2005
By matt322 "matt322" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Financial Accounting: Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (with 1-Year Access to Thomson One, Business School Edition) (Hardcover)
This is one of the two worst textbooks I've ever used. It is incredibly poorly written, there are errors in many examples, and in general, it makes one hate life and accountants, too. If you are mildly intelligent and can handle a book that uses well-constructed examples and speaks intelligently to the reader, please, for the love of god, look elsewhere.

Recommended text at USC's Executive MBA program, Nov 4 2005
By Kirit Sarvaiya "USC Executive MBA" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Financial Accounting: Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (with 1-Year Access to Thomson One, Business School Edition) (Hardcover)
I didn't buy this book - it came as part of my tuition at the University of Southern California (Go Trojans!!!) Marshall School of Business's Executive MBA program tuition.I really liked the book whenever I did manage to find time to read the text. The example are practical, and I now see how a good knowledge of financial accounting can benefit a General Manager, especially when it comes to valuation of securities, and even general accounting principles.
It helped that we had an absolutely amazing professor - Mark DeFond - teach us the subject.
Cheers!
Kirit.
