Fundamentals of Advanced Accounting, 4th Edition, Joe Ben Hoyle




Fundamentals of Advanced Accounting, 4/e is ideal for those schools wanting to cover 12 chapters in their advanced accounting course. This brief yet concise text allows students to think critically about accounting, just as they will do preparing for the CPA exam. With this text, students gain a well-balanced appreciation of the Accounting profession. 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 as it originates from Hoyle’s big text Advanced Accounting.

The writing style of the three 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 Hoyle the market leading franchise in the Advanced Accounting market. The Fourth Edition includes an increase integration of IFRS as well as the updated accounting standards.

The course topics are very useful for undergraduates and a good introduction to Corporate Finance and Accounting.

However, I would recommend the latter Chapters i.e. 9,10 and 11,12 be placed in other books to allow more emphasis on the earlier chapters. This probably will make the book also good for graduate courses/students especially now with the 150 credit hour accounting programs.

Other than that, its a well developed book!!!

Haven't really gotten into it yet because the semester just started but it looks good. Hope it serves me well.
