Accounting Basics

This textbook is an excellent source of accounting basics at the collegiate level. I originally purchased for Meigs course at USC and I've used it as a reference for years...so much so that my book was worn out so I reordered the latest edition...it is even better!

This should be 1 st edition.

Iam not English-native, so I did not know accounting words in English. I study this book about accounting word in English. For example, I did not know LCM(lower of cost or market). This book is very good details and very good review questions. 1st 1962 2nd 1967 3rd 1972 4th 1977 5th 1981 6th 1984 10th 1999 So this should be 1st edition.

Competent Accounting Education

Being a teacher, I find this book is very useful for beiggners as well as for teachers. Basically, In my opinion, accounting can never be understood without concept and principles. This book satisfies all the basic requirements of learners. This book is written in simple and useful business enviornment. It depicts all the concepts and attracts it`s users. The accounting treatments are stated in a simple way. One should can easily understand the basic purpose of financial and manegerial accounting. Really this book is remarkable!! I found this book is very useful. I have not words in my mind to describe it`s actual utility. But one thing is that there is a lack of problems in few chapters, if that could also be included then I am assure that the major problem of practice should be solved. This book described in a simple way, How the accounting performs as the "Language of Business".

It is a very good book but there is no solution for the problems

Complete and thorough !

Great book! Very well realized and detailed. It takles accounting from a business standpoint rather than an academic one.
