MBA students alike may not even have the patient to read through it. But, as a management consultant in China ( i used to work for 2 of big 4 accounting firms, and now working as a freelance to help local companies to solve their managerial costing problems), this book is my primary reference for my work. I applied ideas in this book helping my clients building ABC and transfer pricing and costing control models. When you really need to solve true business problems (rather than reading in the school), you will find this is "the" book. In my view, you have to read Kaplan and Cooper's staff if you want to get some true knowledge about managerial accounting.

This book not classic. It contains chapters deal with subjects like performance evaluation and incentives in depth and by using advanced models. It also deals with ABC & ABM by using simle examples.

If you are a PhD student in Accounting and your interests lie in Behavioral Research in Accounting, this text is a must read. Even if your interest lies in economic theory, this text will broaden your perspective on factors that are not considered in economic models.

This text is well-thought out and well written. Enjoy!

This book is an excellent overview of the major theories that impact accounting judgment and decision making. Too many people forget, or don't know, that accounting isn't made up of distinct rules with yes/no answers - there are many opportunities for financial results to be changed through a good/bad decision by an accountant.

The only thing that keeps this book from being four stars - it needs to be even longer and more detailed. This is an extremely relevant topic in today's world.

The Global Curse of the Federal Reserve: How Investors Can Survive and Profit From Monetary Chaos, 2nd Edition, Brendan Brown

The Global Curse of the Federal Reserve reveals and explores the missing link between the Austrian School of Economics and behavioral finance theory. Monetary instability is the source of the waves of irrational exuberance (sometimes described as "asset price inflation"), which spread so much economic destruction and geo-political turmoil when they break. The largest and most destructive waves in the past 100 years have all been powered by monetary turmoil created by the Federal Reserve. Dr. Brown argues that flawed monetary practice and principles—most recently in the form of Bernanke-ism—have been responsible for the Fed-made havoc.

The author comes to two optimistic conclusions. First, political forces in the US will one day gain sufficient strength to repeal Bernanke-ism. But the new revolutionaries must learn from the mistakes of the first monetarist revolution. Brown argues for the end of the Fed as a policy-making institution. Second, it is possible for investors to build substantial protection for their wealth and even profit from monetary chaos unleashed by the Federal Reserve—but this depends on throwing overboard much of the established wisdom about optimal portfolio management.

Review
"Since its founding, the Federal Reserve's oracles have cultivated and kept alive the myth that the world's most prominent central bank is a purveyor of domestic and international stability. Brendan Brown, a premiere market economist, draws on his deep knowledge of economics, history and markets to expose the Fed as a great destabilizing force. Brown shines a bright light on all the nonsensical ideas and arguments that have been peddled by Fed myth makers - both past and present. He scrutinizes and explodes ideas embraced by contemporary currency warriors, including the so-called global imbalance and savings glut problems, and, yes, inflation targeting. Once Brown disrobes the oracles, he then takes monetarism to a new level and unfurls a blueprint for monetary stability." - Steve H. Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics, The Johns Hopkins University, USA

About the Author
BRENDAN BROWN is an international economist practicing in London, UK. He has authored many books on international financial topics, including monetary problems in the US, Europe, and Japan, and asset market pricing (including exchange rates) in a global context. The books cover both contemporary trends and historical topics. He was awarded a PhD by the London School of Economics and an MBA by the University of Chicago. Dr. Brown is a regular contributor to Japanese and European financial media.

The book is very presents a very clear analysis of the problems created by central bank manipulation of the money supply. It provides an interesting history of the Fed's behavior and its consequences from its inception. If you are interested in the effect of central banking, and particularly the Fed, on an economy, you won't want to miss this book. If you liked Lords of Finance, Bankers Who Broke the World, you will like this book.

Computer Accounting with QuickBooks Pro 2010, 12th Edition, Donna Kay

Computer Accounting with QuickBooks Pro 2010 will take students to the next level as they learn the most up-to-date and most in demand software on the market. This market leading textbook walks the student through the process of setting up a company in QuickBooks in a step-by-step manner, allowing the student to learn QB without requiring as much assistance from their instructor. Each chapter builds on the previous chapter as the student progresses from entering simple transactions to using advanced QuickBooks features. The first part of the text provides a hands-on introduction to QuickBooks, and the second half focuses on maintaining a service and merchandising business, as well as on advanced features of QuickBooks. Computer Accounting with QuickBooks 2010 provides both the big picture “Where am I going?” and step-by-step instructions “Where do I click?”

About the Author
Donna Kay (formerly Donna Ulmer) is Assistant Professor of Accounting and Accounting Information Systems at Maryville University in Saint Louis, Missouri, where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate accounting. Dr. Kay earned B.S. and MBA degrees from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville before receiving a Ph.D. from Saint Louis University, where she conducted action research on the perceived effectiveness of instructional techniques in the computer classroom. Named to Who’s Who Among American Women, Dr. Kay holds certifications as both a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP) and is an active member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Missouri Society of CPAs, the American Accounting Association and the Missouri Association of Accounting Educators. Dr. Kay serves on the Information Technology Committee of the MSCPA.

I could not wait to get my hands on this textbook simply because I knew it would make accounting much easier. However, I was unsure of how easy it would be to learn the ins and outs of QB. Well, needless to say, this textbook has made everything seem easy! It breaks down every basic thing you need to know about the software. Any question you may have can be answered in this text. I would recommend this text to any accounting student or person who needs to learn QB. This is knowledge that is useful for just about any job.

This book was very hard to follow in some of the problems. I had a hard time reading and following the text. I feel this should be almost a 3 semester book not a 2 semester book. There is alot to read and understand in this book.

This textbook will walk you through step-by-step on how to use Quickbooks. It's great if you're new to using this software program. This book provides plenty of screenshots, so you could follow through with what the author is doing. But be mindful that there are a few inconsistencies with what the author say what to do or what is the correct answer and what the pictures show. I also found quite a bit of typos in the book, and I am only in Chapter 5. Seriously, what are siabilities (page 2.12)? The author probably should have hired a better editor!

This textbook comes with two CDs. One is the actual Quickbooks software, but it's only a Student Trial edition, so it will only work for 140 days once installed. And by the way, it's a one time installation, so if you don't have the Quickbooks software and thinking of buying a used book, you should really reconsidered buying a new one instead. And after you install the CD, please be aware that you must register the Quickbooks product, or the program will stop working in 30 days. Lame, I know. And the other CD contains the data files (All QBBs, I believe), so you could work along with the book.

I got the book in perfect time, the day before my class started. I was expecting it to be later than it was. Book was in perfect condition, and had the CD's in it that I needed with the book. Very Satisfied.

The only thing I don't like is that it's a spiral bound book and it's soft covered, but this book came quicker and in better condition than expected. Thank you!

Advanced Financial Accounting, 8th Edition, Richard Baker

The eighth edition of Advanced Financial Accounting is an up-to-date, comprehensive, and highly illustrated presentation of the accounting and reporting principles used in a variety of business entities. The new edition continues to provide strong coverage based on continuous case examples that tie all of the disparate details of Advanced Accounting together for the students. The text is highly illustrated with complete presentations of worksheets, schedules, and financial states so that students can see the development of each topic. Inclusion of all recent FASB and GASB pronouncements and the continuing deliberations of the authoritative bodies provide a current and contemporary text for students preparing for the CPA Exam and current practice. The book's building block approach introduces concepts with simple examples and then gradually introduces complexity, allowing students to easily keep pace with the material.

I have used this book in conjunction with Gleim's CPA review books in preparation for FARE section of the CPA exam. Excellent supplement especially if you look for technical aspects of purchase/pooling accounting. The chapters on consolidation are truly outstanding. Very thorough and comprehensive. The only drawback as with many other textbooks is the lack of answer keys at the end of the chapter. Overall, I would definitely recommend getting it.

I liked this textbook because it is nice and clean and uncluttered inside, however I think that the content could have been better. I had trouble with the first chapter having to do with business combinations in that every time a journal entry was recorded, I had no idea whether the author was referring to the common stock of the purchasing company or the common stock of the selling company. After a while, I finally figured it out, but I thought the problem could have been avoided by being more clear. There are many more examples that I have like this one. I may be being picky about the book seeing as how I took this course via independent study, so I did not have the ability to ask an instructor specific questions. I just think that the authors could have done a better job being more clear on many things. In the end, I did end up getting a A in the course!

This book covers special accounting entities that are not covered in Intermediate Accounting. This book has become helpful in the different organizations I have been employed. Although the material in this book is a lot - it is necessary. Has an excellent section for Not-for-Profit accounting.

I bought this book for school. The delivery was awesome. The price was great. I would recommend any college student to check out this site for cheap textbooks.

This is only the 3rd textbook I have ever ordered online and I was blown away! The binding was barely cracked, and not a highlight in it! I had to check my account to see if I was accidentally charged for a new book-but "this" was considered used. When they say very good condition they really mean it, and the price was fantastic. A million thank you's I will order from you guys anytime!

Purchase Order Management Best Practices: Process, Technology, and Change Management, 1st Edition, Ehap H. Sabri

This ground-breaking volume brings together the latest advances in the field of purchase order management (POM) and offers a comprehensive framework for lowering costs, improving efficiency, eliminating non-value activities, and optimizing the POM process.

"Purchase Order Management Best Practices" provides practical and proven methods, and detailed guidance on every aspect of the POM process redesign - from mapping the existing process and intelligent implementation of new technologies, to strengthening supplier relationships and providing continuing support - all accompanied by real industry case studies. This volume also includes details of the key performance indicators for a POM transformation program, and the typical benefits successful implementation can bring.

This book should be required reading for anybody interested in supply chain management. An organization's purchase order managemnent system must reflect serious consideration of the "process, technology, and change mangement" issues that are discussed by Sabri, Gupta, and Beitler.

"POM Best Practices" offers advice that new and seasoned purchase order managements can apply immediately. I wish this type of book had been available 20 years ago when I got started.

I recently worked with a client who had purchase order management problems. Implementation of the new purchase order management procedures were extremely difficult. The third part of the book on Change Management (written by Beitler, the change management expert) was very helpful.

I like how these three experts, Sabri (process), Gupta (technology) , and Beitler (change management), collaborated to produce such a valuable reference guide for purchase order management. They talk about state-of-the-art techniques, being used at real-world companies, in an easy-to-read style.

I heard about this book on "Free Markets With Dr. Mike Beitler," an internet-radio show on the VoiceAmerica Business Network. Since I work in manufacturing, I found this book to be very helpful. The authors are all Ph.D.s but they are also practitioners; they speak in real-world terms.

I found the change management tools especially useful.

I would recommend this book along with Dr. Beitler's "Strategic Organizational Change" Strategic Organizational Change, Second Edition.

When I bought it, was updated information that gave me the guidance to perform my pòsgraduate final paper. A must have.

Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting: Theory and Practice, Update, 9th Edition, Robert J. Freeman

This comprehensive textbook is written through the eyes of the learner to prepare them for professional government and not-for-profit accounting practice and the CPA exam.

The updated ninth edition now includes information on new GASB Statement 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions.

Im a for profit acctg major so i am very pleased to say this book breaks down the not for profit concepts very well. It has lots of examples, but i wished the chapter summary covered more of the chapter. Very well writte and easy to follow. Price from the amazion seller beats the college bookstore hands down.

Too much highlighting and writing to be titled as very good. If the labeling had been different then the condition would not have bothered me.

The time it took to ship was good. However, I was not expecting the binding to be broken. There are about 30 pages that are going to fall out any day now. I have to be very careful opening and closing the book to make sure I don't lose the pages.

My son needed this book for class. It was substantially cheaper on this website than it was in the bookstore. I advise everyone to look on this site for books before purchasing the same book at a college or university. There is usually a 20 to 30 percent markup on books at the colleges or universities.

Elliott Wave Principle: Key to Market Behavior (Wiley Trading Advantage), 1st Edition, A. J. Frost

"This is a definitive, excellent book on Elliott, and I recommend it to all who have an interest in the Wave Principle." Richard Russell, Dow Theory Letters "Gold and Silver Today wholeheartedly endorses this book. It is the definitive work on a scientific wave theory of human experience. If you are interested in technical or wave analysis, it should be required reading." Gold & Silver Today "This book is extremely well done. It is clear, brief and bold....by far the most useful and comprehensive for both the beginner and the veteran." William Dilanni, Wellington Mgmt. Co.

"An outstanding job...I don't think a better basic handbook of Elliott Wave theory could be written." Donald J. Hoppe, Business and Investment Analysis "...A top-drawer reference for serious technical analysts....all the nuts and bolts necessary to do their own Elliott Wave assembly." Futures Magazine "Chapter Three is the best description of Fibonacci numbers we've seen in print and that alone is worth the price of the book." Janes Dines, The Dines Letter

"In a third of a lifetime in this business, this was the first time I really understood Elliott, and this is certainly the first book on Elliott that I could recommend. All the methods that Prechter has used so successfully are fully described in this book." The Professional Investor "Elliott Wave Principle is such an important, fascinating, even mind-bending work, we are convinced that it should be read by and and every serious student of the market, be they fundamentalist or technician, dealing in stocks, bonds or commodities." Market Decisions

"Even allowing for minor stumbles, that 1978 prediction must go down as the most remarkable stick market prediction of all time." James W. Cowan, Monitor Money Review Recipient of the Technical Analysis Association's Award of Excellence

When I first opened this book, I had already read numerous books on Technical Analysis, including candlesticks, momentum oscillators, volume indicators and basic chart patterns. It became obvious to me that the Elliott Wave Principle lies at the heart of why certain chart patterns work only a certain percentage of the time; for what one is seeing in chart patterns is the formation of robust fractals, or Elliott Waves. Chart patterns are the blunt tool and Elliott Waves, the knife - at least in a probabalistic sense, as no method provides perfect accuracy.

This book is not for the mentally lazy, which included me when I first started reading it. In fact, it took me several months just to get through it, understand it and then apply it in real time chart reading. I still keep going back to it as a reference. However, if you have an obsessive desire to understand the financial markets, you will make it through the book and be rewarded with a perspective that VERY few have on the financial markets and, therefore, the psychology of crowds.

I would suggest The Wave Principle of Human Social Behaviour (also by Prechter) before reading the highly technical Elliott Wave Principle. Your want to learn the details of the Elliott Wave Principle will then be fully primed.

Read this book with an open mind and investigate the suggested patterns and you will be amazed what you see.

I remember looking at a 4 year chart of the sp500 after reading this book and trying to observe the "3s" and "5s" and was shocked to see them staring back at me.

It is hard going at first - especially the first couple of chapters, but take it slow and it will soon sink in - you won't regret that you spent the time to learn Elliot Wave Theory

This book is the easiest to read, most direct and to the point book that is solely on Elliott Wave. It tells all the possible moves, how they happen, and why. The book also goes into the very necessary explanation of Fibonacci and time relationships with regard to price. Many gold nuggets of information contained within this book; it is the most simple, complete Elliott Wave book you can get.

But the biggest problem is...most people just don't "get it"... Elliott Wave and Elliott's findings are SO MUCH MORE than the financial markets. The fundamental discoveries that govern the Wave Principle and thus the behavior of the financial markets are the very same fundamental forces at work throughout the entire universe. When you have a deep understanding of the Wave Principle, Socionomics, and science in general, you can begin to see how everything around us all ties together to form this awesome grand scheme of life and existance. A deep understanding of Elliott Wave and Fibonacci is the key to opening a whole new world of knowledge, application, and the birth of a new science.

After reading this book I've decided to study Elliot Waves very carefully. While the book is fairly short the job of constructing degrees and understanding the rules/guidelines will take time to master. The reason I feel it's worth the time is that only Elliot Wave provided a structured way to understand short and long term cycles. The stacking and governance by degree provide meaningful insight into predicting future price movement.

Principles of Accounting, 1st Edition, Meg Pollard

The Demo Docs System of instruction replicates the classroom experience by providing more “I get it” moments outside of class. We’ve talked to tons of POA instructors and our editors have even taken the accounting course (numerous times!) to figure out the following issue in this course that is consistent: Students understand (or “get it”) right after you do a problem in class, but as soon as they leave class, with each passing hour, their ability to do the problems again and complete their homework diminishes to the point of them either having to come to office hours to get help, or they just quit and get behind in the course. On top of this, you can end up getting behind in the course as well, in order to keep everyone on track. The Demo Docs system helps to recreate the “I get it” moments outside of class-- keeping both you and the students on track.
