Great for a new accounting student. - I purchased this book on the recommendation of a co-worker (fully qualified accountant) who used the third edition while at uni. She was spot on when she told me that it is a great help to those students who come from a non-accounting background. (i.e. no A levels in accounting).The layout is easy to follow, great self tests along the way, case studies, real world relevent news articles and even an online site with further tests.
Brilliant from a Student at University - This book is easy to read yet engages the reader in financial accounting. This provides all essential information without overload and gives a firm understanding and grasp of all concepts. the book is colourful and easy to read.
simple, but often insufficient - The book has been chosen to be our coursebook and was a great help when I did the very basics of accounting. When it came to the second year however, the number of examples was insufficient to help students understand the topics. The explanations are good but sometimes too long. It s a good book to use as a core text but not enough to understand topics well.

P+L, Cash Flow..... - What can I say? This book tells you virtually everything you need to know about accounting -- and not a technie in sight!
