The "study guide" IS your guide. .......2007-07-03
I found the Study Guide to be a big help when needing to understand a little more than what the Course book tries to teach you. In the guide, there were examples of problems that are not explained in the Course book. The guide helped me to make better grades on my assignments, better grades than what I was making before I purchased it. I really understand the concept of accounting more in several areas of the business. I would recommend any study guide book, in any subject, to any one!
This book rocks!.......2007-03-23
I am taking a condensed Accounting course and was somewhat lost in the first half of the course which is why I purchased this book. Each chapter is summarized and then there are various exercises and examples to work on. The most helpful part is having the answers for each problem right there, so one is quickly able to see where mistakes were made. This book is worth the price. And, if you're struggling with accounting, it will make a difference in your understanding of the material and your grade.

No Code Included With Purchse Of "New" Text From Amazon.......2007-08-30
Potential Buyers,
If you are a student who is taking an accounting course and your instructor requires you to use the accompanying Wiley Plus website, do not expect to get a Wiley Plus, registration code with this product.
I purchased the text "new" directly from Amazon for an accounting class I am taking and I assumed that I would recieve the registration code I needed; I assumed wrong as there was no registration code included with my book.
If you do need the code for class and you do choose to buy this book from Amazon, you'll be best off buying the cheapest, used edition and going to the Wiley Plus site directly to get a standard registration code for around $60 dollars. Of Course keep in mind shipping costs may eat up any savings you'd get buying from Amazon in the first place!
The 1 star review actually reflects my dissatisfaction with the description of this product on Amazon's site, and not the quality of the text.
Happy Shopping!
accounting.......2007-07-17
the book arrived a little later than i expected; but, it's a very helpful book if you want to go for accounting. the book's website is extremely useful.
Good for its purpose -- learning.......2007-05-28
The authors have put together a text that is long on examples. It might seem redundant to some, but I think this is the right way to teach a process discipline like accounting.
Much of the book is problem sets, in fact.
Let's see, the chapters begin with study objectives. Then there are highlighted "key points." Then at the end of each lesson, there are demonstration problems, self-study questions, questions, a set of brief exercises, exercises, then problem sets A and B.
I bought the 3rd edition, although the 4th is now available. The fourth edition has different problems in the first two chapters. In many instances, only the names of the company and an occasional number are different. It would matter if you are taking this for a class where the homework is graded. If your purpose is to learn the principles that underly financial accounting, though, you are as well served by the 3rd edition.
Great Book for Non-Finance Managers.......2007-02-24
This was a textbook used in my Managerial Finance class. It was easy to understand, aside from just a few concepts not explained as clearly as I would've liked. My background is engineering, however, I learned a great deal from this book. Great job Kimmel.
simple and easy understanding.......2007-01-05
the book provides examples and graphs to help demonstrate the text.
it has a lot of details and online reviews if u want to learn more and deeper
Book Description
This text helps students hit the road with a practical set of tools, and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The goal is to introduce a new Principles of Accounting text that better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.
The authors have taken a new "macro- to micro-" approach to the Principles of Accounting course by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle (although the Accounting Cycle is thoroughly covered in Chapters 3 and 4). The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. They motivate students by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their future career.
Customer Reviews:
Great service.......2007-05-15
The book was as good as it was described and delivered on time
Excellent Introductory Text.......2006-03-09
I have never written a review on here, but I felt like I should give praise for this book, beacuse I really liked it.
I just finished my second principles of accounting class, and thus completed this text book. I found it to be an excellent learning resource. The book is well written to make the subject entertaining and accessible. There is a wealth of problems after each chapter, and many illustrations to aid in understanding. Even if you get a bad professor, you can easily learn the subject just from this text.
Principles of Accounting, with Annual Report.......2005-09-27
Book used for accounting classes...very complete and thorough. Entertaining and helpful stories and illustrations to help understand concepts.
Best single volume accounting text out there.......2005-08-15
I found this to be the best single volume accounting text to include both financial accounting and managerial accounting topics at a reasonable price.
I use this in my accounting courses. The other reviewers mentioned that the text uses jargon. It does not, though one will need to know or learn standard American business terminology. If you are not interested in American business, you should not be taking an accounting course in the first place. Many of my students are taking this course because it is required. Many of them would be better off in another major, as they have no interest in American business.
Difficult to read.......2005-08-02
This textbook is very difficult to read and comprehend. When I took Principles of Accounting the textbook was very unhelpful and left myself and others looking for alternate resources to understand the basic concepts of accounting. But for those who are in classes that must use this textbook, I recoomend finding the best ways to avoid buying this, such as sharing with two or three friends or buying used.
Book Description
Students are often overwhelmed by the amount of information presented in the introductory financial accounting course. Fundamental Financial and Managerial Accounting Concepts gives students the big picture, by focusing on fundamental concepts in a logical sequence. The authors intentionally limit the scope of the material to help students build a solid foundation of the most important concepts. As a result, students are able to fully comprehend the material rather than memorize seemingly unrelated terms and topics. In the Financial portion the “horizontal financial statements model” enables students to understand how any given business event affects the financial statements. This highly praised feature allows students to visualize the simultaneous impact of business events on all of the key financial statements (the income statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows). The mechanics of accounting coverage (debits and credits) is delayed until chapter 3 allowing instructors the flexibility in the amount of emphasis they want to place on this topic.

The authors identify a finite set of tools necessary to make business decisions based on financial information: The Decision Toolkit. This toolkit is consistently re-introduced throughout the text, logically sequenced to take full advantage of the tools presented in earlier chapters, and summarized in the final chapter. This thorough integration of the use of financial statements for decision-making makes this one of the most user-oriented texts available today.

Good but..........2007-03-26
When I placed the order for this book I was looking for the latest edition of this title but in paperback (to cut cost) but unfortunately I rushed in my order and did not notice the word "Working papers" on the cover. When I received the book i was shocked to see it was only a 700+ pages book with only empty tables and place to answer the exercises which were listed in the main text book!!!
so I returned the book the same day! yet I am rating the book 4 star because it looked like a good help and a handy book for collage students to answer the exercises and practice. The tables were well organized and clear.
