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!
Book Description
GAAP Guide Level A analyzes authoritative GAAP literature contained in Level A of the GAAP hierarchy, established by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, including FASB Statements and Interpretations, as well as APB Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins. In clear language, each pronouncement is discussed in a comprehensive format that makes it easy to understand and apply. Practical illustrations and examples demonstrate and clarify specific accounting principles.
Accounting pronouncements are organized alphabetically by topic under two general areas: generally accepted accounting principles and specialized industry accounting principles. Pronouncements covering the same subject are incorporated into a single chapter, so that the authoritative information is easily accessible.
The Practice Pointers throughout this edition point out, in plain English, how to apply the standards just discussed. Observations enrich the discussion by presenting interesting aspects of GAAP, such as conflicts within the authoritative literature.
To facilitate research, GAAP Guide Level A includes extensive codification references to pertinent paragraphs of the original pronouncements.
Material can be located several ways: the Cross-Reference shows the chapter in which a particular pronouncement is discussed; the Index provides a quick page reference; and the chapters' tables of contents list all topics covered and the page on which they begin.
This book can be used in conjunction with GAAP Guide Levels B, C, and D and the twice-monthly GAAP Update Service.
GAAP Guide Level A meets accounting industry standards overseen by the peer review system and contains a document covering the peer review of this book.

Researching GAAP Made Easier.......2007-06-15

The Ultimate Accounting References.......2006-08-06
This book presents major accounting best practices including its related regulation with the IRS, GAAP and SEC, complete with some cases that make it easier to understand.
Pretty good book.......2006-03-09
Decent book. It hits the high spots on a lot of issues, but does not go into any great detail. I would be careful about relying on it too much because of the constantly changing accounting and tax laws.
Overall, it is a handy reference, and a good book to have on the shelf for accountants. It sure beats getting out the old college text book.

The Only Book You Need.......2003-02-09
If you work in accounting, this is the only reference book you need.
Product Description
This title was formerly known as Miller Governmental GAAP Guide; however, starting in 2006, we are removing the "Miller" name from all new editions. Governmental GAAP Guide discusses all the promulgated accounting principles applicable to financial reporting by state and local governments. It delivers a thorough analysis of GASB Statements, GASB Interpretations, GASB Technical Bulletins, NCGA Statements, NCGA Interpretations and certain AICPA Statements of Position, as well as Auditing and Accounting Guides. Everything has been analyzed and restated in plain English and is supported by timesaving examples and illustrations. The Guide alerts readers to and discusses financial accounting and reporting standards necessary to prepare the basic external financial statements of a governmental entity. (A companion publication, GAAP Practice Manual, illustrates how governmental financial statements are prepared based on the standards established by GASB-34.) The Governmental GAAP Guide is organized into six main sections. The first section, Basic Governmental Accounting Concepts and Standards, describes the fundamental concepts and principles that provide the foundation for financial reporting by governmental entities. Governmental Accounts and Transactions--Government-Wide Financial Statements, Fund Financial Statements, and Fiduciary Financial Statements covers specific accounting and reporting standards. The next three sections discuss fund reporting by (1) governmental funds, (2) proprietary funds, and (3) fiduciary funds. Accounting and reporting standards for public colleges and universities as mandated by GASB-34 are described in the section, Reporting by Special Purpose Governments. To facilitate research, major topics in the text are cross-referenced to the pertinent paragraphs of the original pronouncements. Illustrations, figures and paragraphs called "Observations" demonstrate and clarify specific accounting principles. The Guide also includes a cross-
