Customer Reviews:

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.

Excellent .......2007-05-07

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

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.

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.

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!

Customer Reviews:

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.

A Nice Roadmap.......2006-07-09

I have been working with this Wiley Gaap series by years, it is really easy to understand and gives to you a comprehensive backround to understand most of the common topics.

As an opportunity to improve, would be great if this book in a future, include a practical chapter with examples an study cases of the common practices as tips and falls.

a great complement to this book are the Intermediate Accounting (Kyeso) & Advanced Accounting (Baker)

From a student's perspective..........2006-04-21

This is a useful companion to any intermediate accounting text. It explains topics in plain English and in fewer words than most textbooks do. The best part about this guide is its detailed index that has come through in the clutch a few times during open-book exams and the cases that we prepare on a regular basis.

I recommend this book to finance-focused MBA students and anyone who has a job that involves interpreting financial statements or FASB documents.

Wiley GAAP 2006 : Interpretation and Application of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Wiley Gaap).......2006-03-15

Excellent for CPA's

Great Book!.......2005-08-02

GAAP is very hard to understand if it is not in laymen's terms. This book is great at "translating" the prounouncements. I definitely recommend it.

Great GAAP Resource.......2004-12-04

As a frequent reader of accounting literature in my daily activities, I have used the Wiley GAAP Guide for several years. The authors have converted complex accounting issues into well written and easy to understand language. It's a valuable resource.
