Advanced Accounting, 10th Edition, Joe Ben Hoyle




The approach used by Hoyle, Schaefer, and Doupnik in the new edition allows students to think critically about accounting, just as they will do while preparing for the CPA exam and in their future careers. With this text, students gain a well-balanced appreciation of the Accounting profession. As Hoyle 10e introduces them to the field’s many aspects, it often focuses on past controversies and present resolutions. The text continues to show the development of financial reporting as a product of intense and considered debate that continues today and into the future.

The writing style of the nine previous editions has been highly praised. Students easily comprehend chapter concepts because of the conversational tone used throughout the book. The authors have made every effort to ensure that the writing style remains engaging, lively, and consistent which has made this text the market leading text in the Advanced Accounting market. The Tenth Edition includes an increase integration of IFRS as well as the updated accounting standards.

This is a popular university textbook. I know this because I called several universities for recommendations before purchasing. I've used this book as a professional reference. It is very current on recent pronouncements. The book is well organized, has good examples and it includes many "real world" examples as well.

I needed it for an Accounting for Specialized Entities course. I have the Principles of Auditing and Other Assurance Services by the same publisher. I love the end-of-chapter multiple choice questions. They are very detailed and truly test the students' knowledge of the material. The chapters read easily (for someone who reads slow). My only complaint is that the chapters on Governmental and Not-for-Profit accounting (Chapters 16-18) don't go into as much detail as is needed for a full course in the subject, but do provide a basic overview of these two types of accounting.

I purchased this textbook for a class at my University. The class was self-study, so I was worried that the the book may difficult to learn from. However, it was organized and pretty good at explanations. I kept it for a reference and have used it several times since.
