Intermediate Accounting by Kieso and Weygandt

This text was utilized by me in graduate school and in studyingfor and passing the Uniform CPA Examination. The work hasa thorough coverage of theory and practice. It is geared foraccounting majors or more advanced business students.Few texts provide the "bold-font" presentation of an accountingterm followed by the accompanying definition. The problem setsare challenging. The text will help you to study for the CPAexamination because the presentation contains many problemsets geared to prepare students for rigorous examinations.The text is well worth the price .

The end of a long search !

Iam an Asian-Indian,who came to the United States recently.Iam a B.Com graduate and M.B.A specialising in Finance.After years of specialising in Accounting and Finance in the British system,I was totally lost when I came to the US ,when I tried to improve my qualifications to an American C.P.A. I needed to go through and practice problems in the American system of accounting. I was wandering aimlessly and without any help into the websites selling books trying to match the ones that meet my requirements for a CPA exam.Finally I approached a friend at work who was formerly teaching at a local school.She recommended "Self study problems and solutions to accompany Intermediate accounting" by Keiso and Weygandt.I bought both the volumes of that book,It is a great book for self study. It starts with the very basics of introducing the conceptual framework of accounting and basic chapters like Recivables accounting,Cashflows,inventory accounting,Accounting for assets and current liabilities in its 1st Volume to more complex chapters like retained earnings,accounting for income taxes and for Retirement benefits in the 2nd Volume. It was of immense help to me not only to brush up my fundamental concepts but also to work out several problems and compare them with the solutions provided and to make myself stong in intermediate accounting. Thanks to Keiso and Wegandt, I can now sit for my exam with confidence. I would highly recommend this book to all intermediate students and to students from other countries such as myself.

Excellent book, but no solutions!

This is an excellent book, very well written and comprehensive. However, without an instructor or a complete solutions manual, this book is impossible to use! When are authors and publishers going to learn that a beautifully thoughtout set of exercises is utterly worthless in a quantitative subject like Accounting without the solutions available! I'm presently taking a course from this book, however I would never buy this book for personal use - no answers!

Very helpfull book

This book has helped me a lot in my accounting course. This has given me all the tools that I need to become an accountant. It covers so much ground and it gives you all the current issues of whats going on in the accounting world. I'm very gratefull to have acquired this book and my very best professor who is teaching it.

Great accounting text!

As a recent accounting graduate, and current graduate student, I can tell you that this text is one of the best accounting books I ever read. Intermediate Accounting is a tough, voluminous subject, which is why it takes two semesters to get through it! Keiso and Weygandt do a great job of walking students through the specifics of a topic, along with its history, alternatives, and the profession's arguments for and against some of the more controversial ones. The problems and cases following the chapters are extremely challenging and thought-provoking; great supplements to the readings and class lectures. If you are an accounting professor, or an accounting student or professional, this book is a fantastic textbook and excellent resource during your career. I will have it in my cubicle at my firm!
