I received this book for my Managerial Accounting class. I have never taken an accounting class prior to this one. This book explains everything in great detail and in its simplest form. The exercises are not complicated and provide hints when you get stuck. I recommend this book for th beginning accountant.

Its full of great info. I was fearful that accounting might be a challenge, but this book makes applying new techniques an ease. However, be sure to check with your instructor if you require the online Cengage access. I bought the wrong type and have gone through a bit to get it all cleared up. There is no access numbers provided for used books. Just a heads up!

This book has been very useful. Very good overview of managerial and financial accounting and has helped me to further understand concepts and keep up with the class.
