Financial Accounting, Study Guide: Tools for Business Decision Making, 6th Edition, Paul D. Kimmel




This successful book continues to provide accountants with an understanding of the fundamental concepts necessary to use accounting effectively. The sixth edition offers new discussions on IFRS, including new codification numbers, examples of IFRS financial statements, and additional exercises. A look at more recent frauds such as the Bernie Madoff scandal have been added. Enhanced discussions of ethics and international accounting are presented. The coverage of non-cash items and their impact on decision making has been expanded. In addition, comprehensive case studies and problems help accountants tie the material together.

The study Guide I received was already completed. Not much studying to do when it has someone else's answers in the book alread.

Definitely helped, summarizing so I didn't have to go through the entire chapter every study period. Almost like cliff notes!

In Accounting, PRACTICE seems to be key in success, and I love supplemental sources of practice. This specific study tool gives you a key with which to check your answers to practice problems, and through figuring out what the correct response is, and for what reason, you can learn extremely efficiently. I think the more re-presentations of information about a certain topic you are provided with and can understand, the better off you will be in the class, and this study guide is extremely useful in that area. This is a great resource that provides MANY additional tips and hints to help you succeed in a course that students often find intimidating, and it phrases practice questions in such a way that the format of actual exam questions is less surprising when you are being tested on the material.

This was not a required book for my class. After my professor told me she has to do alot of tutoring throughout the semester. I thought this might be a good idea. I think it will really help.
