5 out of 5 stars ACCOUNTING EXCELLENCE.......2007-06-27

We have purchased this for our own use and for the use of family members in the Accounting profession. If you are an accountant, this is a MUST.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent .......2007-05-07

The shipment was timely. The book was in excellent condition. The price was right on time.

5 out of 5 stars Great tool for Staying Current and Developing Staff.......2007-04-01

I have used this series for over ten years and find that it is easy to use and also helpful in developing my staff. It provides them a guideline through the complexities of financial accounting and also a good tool for understanding the Convergence of US GAAP and International Accounting Standards.

4 out of 5 stars Thorough Coverage, Great Price.......2007-03-18

I had been purchasing the Miller GAAP Guide series, but got disgusted when they divided the subjects into 3 or 4 volumes and charged more for each volume than what they used to charge for the single comprehensive book. I decided to give Wiley a try to see if it would meet my needs for about $300 less. So far, it has given a good accounting of itself (pun intended), answering questions on leases, cash flow statements, and auditor reports. Before shelling out the big bucks for Miller or the Prentice Hall books, give Wiley a try. Amazon has the best price that I could find for it, substantially less than the publisher's web site.

4 out of 5 stars Review for the book.......2007-01-12

Such book is the one that I am looking for a long time. In China, I can't find the place to buy such book, and I am very satisfied the service of Amazon. Thanks!

Book Description

Bestselling author Salih Neftci presents a fresh, original, informative, and up-to-date introduction to financial engineering. The book offers clear links between intuition and underlying mathematics and an outstanding mixture of market insights and mathematical materials. Also included are end-of-chapter exercises and case studies.

In a market characterized by the existence of large pools of liquid funds willing to go anywhere, anytime in search of a few points of advantage, there are new risks. Lacking experience with these new risks, firms, governmental entities, and other investors have been surprised by unexpected and often disastrous financial losses. Managers and analysts seeking to employ these new instruments and strategies to make pricing, hedging, trading, and portfolio management decisions require a mature understanding of theoretical finance and sophisticated mathematical and computer modeling skills.

Important and useful because it analyzes financial assets and derivatives from the financial engineering perspective, this book offers a different approach than the existing finance literature in financial asset and derivative analysis. Seeking not to introduce financial instruments but instead to describe the methods of synthetically creating assets in static and in dynamic environments and to show how to use them, his book complements all currently available textbooks. It emphasizes developing methods that can be used in order to solve risk management, taxation, regulation, and above all, pricing problems.

This perspective forms the basis of practical risk management. It will be useful for anyone learning about practical elements of financial engineering.

* Exercises and case studies at end of each chapter and on-line Solutions Manual provided
* Explains issues involved in day-to-day life of traders, using language other than mathematics
* Careful and concise analysis of the LIBOR market model and of volatility engineering problems

5 out of 5 stars great book.......2007-05-07

Prof. Neftci gave one of our mandatory course - Financial Engineering, in HEC Lausanne. This book is the reference book for this course. His lecture is great, a lot of jokes and funny stories as well as insights about financial engineering. However, I find out that the book is even better than his lecture.

5 out of 5 stars Simply a must own for anyone with any use for Quant Finance.......2006-08-26

Neftci is one of those rare authors who can begin at the begining, explain his major point and logic without excessive jargon or short-cuts, and do so without sacrificing depth and substance.

In a field were the readable texts are for MBAs or elementary practioneers or for the initiated members of the priesthood, here is one of a few handful of authors (Wilmott and Joshi as well) that are both clear and serious, rigorous and accessible, insightful and a plerasure to read.

5 out of 5 stars I can't praise this book too highly!.......2005-12-09

As someone who teaches derivatives to practitioners and in a Masters program, I can't praise this book too highly. It is clear, comprehensive and, most importantly, concentrates on practical applications. I was particularly pleased with the chapter on repo, which is usually underestimated in importance, without requiring a whole, specialist book.

For someone with a fundamental, but non-quantitative background in financial markets (MBA or CFA level), this is the ideal place to go next before more specialised and quantitative books. The advantage of having studied this book first will be to have a clear picture of the forest for the trees.

My only (small) criticism is that the book would have been even better if it had included a chapter (or two) on the multi-tranche asset backed security structure followed by cash and then synthetic CDOs. I do hope that might be rectified in the next edition.

Bravo!

5 out of 5 stars This is one of the top books on quantitative finance.......2005-11-22

I am a student of Prof Neftci in the Applied Math for Finance MS program at Baruch College. He is a great teacher and has written this wonderful book. This is the text book for the Calibration course he teaches at baruch.

The best thing about it is in the practical approach it is written with. It tries to explain the finance as interpreted by practioners like traders...the engineering of finance rather than the science of it. Knowledge of basic parobability thoery, martingales, PDE and some stochastic calculus is assumed. The book itself has less emphasis on mathematical rigour but there are plenty of other references for that.

The strength of this book is in its practical utility in understanding the market and the rational behind the products that exist in it and the priciples of pricing and hedging those.
Chapter 11 on the Fundamental Asset prcing theory is a gem and is the workhorse for pricing many of the products like swaps or swaptions.

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2005-11-20

A wonderful book with a great didactic approach! Very clear but never mundane. The best introduction to the field so far. It's only drawback is the sometimes slightly unintuitive notation.

Not all of the information is updated that I thought could have been updated from the last edition.

Easy to follow and gives good examples.

This book is great. Use the online resources! My professor is old school and made no mention of those resources. Had I not taken the time to figure them out and make use of them, I may not have passed the class. The narrated PowerPoint's were particularly helpful.

There was supposed to be a CD, and a work book with this product. I can totally understand why the work book was not there but there is no excuse for the CD.

5 out of 5 stars Great textbook.......2006-10-04

I'm usually very critical of textbooks, but this one reads extremely well. It is clearly organized and progresses in a logical manner. The subject material is inherently difficult, but the authors do an excellent job explaining both the common-sense and mathematical basis for each topic. I have no formal background in finance or accounting but I'm doing well in a 300-level course with just this book to thank. Anyone who wants to educate themselves about stock/bond values, interpreting balance sheets, etc, would benefit greatly from this book.

    Book Description

    Whittington/Pany’s Principles of Auditing, is a market leader in the auditing discipline and the only text in this market which uses the balance sheet approach (vs. the cycles approach). Until October 2002, Ray Whittington was a member of the Audit Standards Board and prior to Ray being on the ASB Kurt Pany was on the board. This has had a major impact on this revision of the text as Whittington has been involved in the audit standards creation process. Principles of Auditing presents concepts clearly and proactively monitors changes in auditing making the relationship between accounting and auditing understandable. The 15th edition maintains the organization and balance sheet orientation, while adding and enhancing topics of Risk, Assurance Services, Fraud, E-Commerce, and the latest auditing standards to meet the needs of the current marketplace.

    4 out of 5 stars The Best Auditing Book Available.......2004-05-19

    During the 16 years that I have taught Financial Auditing at the university level I have been constantly on the lookout for the best available book. I chose Whittington & Pany because (1) it is succinct, (2) it presents auditing concepts clearly (although the authors do sugar coat the accounting scandals of the past 20 years and fail to give credit where credit is due by naming the firms involved in them), (3) the page layout is attractive and easy to read, and most importantly (4) my students preferred it over other texts (one student told me that she chose my class after looking through the assigned texts for all of the Auditing sections, an excellent idea).

    The current (15th ed.) has been brought up to date with a limited discussion of Sarbanes-Oxley and the PCAOB.

    The material is obviously dry, but I found that it was possible to make my classes more interesting by incorporating newspaper accounts of the more egregious audit failures in the assigned readings, and by being honest about the arrogance, greed and stupidity that are all too typical of the accounting profession today. This practice has brought complaints by the local offices of the major firms, to which my department head replied that they are welcome to come speak to the classes to explain their side of the story. To date, they have not accepted the invitation.

    5 out of 5 stars Whittington and Pany ROCK!!!!!.......2001-05-08

    Let me tell ya! What do you get when you combine Whittington, Pany, and Auditing? It's just a boatload of accounting fun!!! These guys know how to put together a book on auditing. This thing is a real page turner. Damn! Attestation really rocks but Assurance Services will just blow your mind. Even if your're not an accountant, this is a great read. I understand the 13th edition is already a red hot item, so grab a copy today before they're all sold out. This is the one book you'll definitely want to have with you if you're traveling and you have room in your back pack for just one book. Read it, then read it again and again. Seriously, you can't put this thing down. It's THAT good! You'll be talking about it with your friends and family for years to come. Can't wait for someone to turn this puppy into an offering for the big screen. That would be sweeeet!!!

    1 out of 5 stars Prechter & elliott wave international .......2007-04-26

    Prechters view is markets peaked in wave 5 in year 2000.
    Never called the bottom in 2002, and stated the
    high of year 2000 would not be surpassed.
    Well 7 years later the DOW has indeed surpassed the year 2000 high!
    High of 2000 was ~12000, today it is ~13000 !!!

    Listening to his advice would cost one dearly.
    Not only missing out on the recent market rise, but also constantly
    pushing one to take a bearish stance against the market during the

    That's amazing book to a small investors. It will show to you the behavior of stock market. But you must read it at least twice in order to get everything you need to know.

    5 out of 5 stars The landmark book that sparked my love for financial markets as a child.......2006-12-18

    No matter what you think about Elliott Wave, Technical Analysis or Robert Prechter, this book is a classic in its field and the definitive introduction to Elliott Wave.

    For me, this was - the - book that deepened my love of financial markets as a child, it's influence on me was profound in many ways. I still remember buying it after having saved up $50 to purchase it as an expensive import in the early 1980s when I was in my early teens. I carefully read each page as if it was gold thinking the secrets of the universe were slowly being explained to me... and this was before Prechter gained legendary status in 1987. I met Prechter in 1990 at a speech he was giving in Australia and was struck at his love for markets and for Elliott Wave. It impacted me powerfully at the time that in between speeches he was calling his office to get market updates. He's dedicated his entire life to Elliott Wave with passion and love and I really admire that.

    I've learned a lot since those days, including the danger of relying on any forecasting method as being the holly grail. Elliott Wave is not something I've traded with in many years and I believe it would be very challenging to do so profitably without substantial work and going much beyond the information contained in this volume. Personally, I think the theory has a lot of validity, and blends well with Fibonacci, it's just that getting it to work is challenging. I also am not all that keen on some of his more modern day extensions like the double and triple threes that kind of get labeled x-y-z-a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h etc. it's just going to far IMHO. I also the power now of mindsets, I spent most of the 1990s thinking we were certain for another great depression and while that could eventually happen, it was a mindset that held me in place of contraction and fear for one of the greatest periods of growth in my history... a major lesson for me around beliefs and the need not to get caught up in theories. I still think though that Elliott Wave offers profound and valuable insights into human and market behavior.

    It's no secret Prechter's basic forecast has been wrong for something approaching fibonacci 21 years... there's no doubt though that he thinks differently, very differently and also truly in a contrary fashion as is evidenced in much of his written forecasts in the EWT publication over the years and other books. He's a sharp thinker and much of that can be seen in this volume. And, to his credit, he's not been afraid to put his forecasts in writing or to stand behind them.

    The book consists of a comprehensive introduction to the theory Elliott Wave, true to the work of R.N. Elliott himself. Most of the other books or published work on Elliott will have been based on this work, so it's important to start here with your study of Elliott. The first part consists of the basic tenets, associated rules and guidelines with many diagrams and charts to illustrate the concept, a discussion of the historical and mathematical background including a comprehensive discussion of Fibonacci numbers. The second part of the book involves the practical application. The authors being brave enough to keep the work from older editions of the book with forecasts and guidelines intact. There's a little discussion of cycles and other theories including Dow Theory and the Kondratieff Wave. The Elliott Wave theory is applied to stocks and gold with detailed forecasts and descriptions and in my book, the forecast for the 1990s with great detail and discussion as to the reasons for the forecast.

    If you like this book, you may also find useful some of the work by Bryce Gillmore (from Australia) in his two hard to find (and more recent) volumes.

    This was, and I think still deserves recognition as being a ground breaking book in technical analysis.

    Best wishes for your trading and thank you to Robert Prechter and A. J Frost for a such a wonderful piece of work.

    1 out of 5 stars Subjective and unconvincing.......2006-07-13

    I purchased this book many years ago when i was market uneducated and market naive and believed that I was missing something as I could never make the connections the author has made throughout his book. After years of studying the markets and attempting to trade profitably, I have revisited this book once again and am just as annoyed with the conclusions the author has made. I am confidant that my work resolves the wave like behavior that defines price movement more precisely than the author. Perhaps it was the clean slate with which I began my research. From what I can gather, people were attracted to the wave analysis because of the author but unfortunately his thesis has proven to be ineffective for traders. As a member of the technician's society I have hoped to introduce my ideas regarding this subject to the author and convince him my approach is more applicable than his. I am embarrassed to announce that this is not even my full time job as real estate consumes much of my time and trading is merely a hobby. Just think if I were able to devote full time. Regardless this book fails just as it did the first read many years ago.

    2 out of 5 stars Not very helpful.......2007-08-15

    I just finished a Cost Accounting class and the professor did not have us use this book! He used his own notes and said the book was not very good.

    1 out of 5 stars Opinion from an instructor.......2005-07-31

    Unfortunately, I have to agree with one of the previous review. The book lacks consistency and logic. Just to mention one of the numerous flops - how you can talk about economic order quantity and not mention a material planner. The book is supposed to help an instructor. Well, it does the opposite.

    1 out of 5 stars Terrible Book.......2002-05-30

    This book is garbage. It is just thrown together for the publisher and author to make money. It is a very superficial review of cost accounting.

    3 out of 5 stars Easy to follow........2000-08-24

    I was pleased with with this book. At the end of each chapter, a demonstration problem is provided with step by step instructions. Also available are template spreadsheet at the Southwestern website which are very helpful in understanding some end of chapter exercises.

    Principles of Accounting - 7th Edition is a very elaborate book introducing accounting guidelines. Over 1000 pages of all levels of learning from begginer to advanced. It includes transparencies in some portions to make understanding statements very easy!

    5 out of 5 stars Great intro to accounting.......2003-06-09

    I liked reading this book for my accounting 101 class. The text is clear, well organized and well written. The typography makes liberal use of color, which makes reading _much_ easier when compared to a monochrome textbook. There are copious examples, illustrations and exercises. The book comes with a workbook (purchased separately) which contains template pages to write in your answers (trust me, you will need it). All chapters are grounded in current reality -- the authors make a point of tying the concepts to real-life situations.

    On the cons, the 2002 edition deals with 2000 data -- their production process needs to be speeded up.

    I think that a thorough review of this text will give the reader an excellent start in basic accounting.
