Quality Textbook

I am not sure why this book has so many bad reviews. I am a 5th year accounting student and find this book very easy to follow as long as you have experience with FASB standards. It is possible this book makes logical sense to me, however, since my professor offers great supplemental explanations. Still, I believe this book has great explanations and examples. The continuous problem that is at the end of each chapter problems section is great for practice. There are a few things that it doesn't explain such as detailed explanations of the presentation of the statements but those are minor. It is definitely an easy read. The poor reviews might be because they have the 8th edition, not the 9th edition. I have read that some say journal entries are written in paragraph form which is very wrong. Example journal entries are explained and then shown very clearly in a box below its explanation. It is even numbered so if it is referred to later, it is referenced and easy to follow.

Needed For BSB?Acc

This book is great. It has helped me to understand government accounting as never seen before. The examples and tables help in understanding the subject of the chapter being studyed. I would recommend this book for any student in regular college or on-line study.
