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!

Want to Learn Accounting? Buy this Book!.......2005-05-05

I admit it. I used to be intimidated with accounting. Its concepts were somewhat of a mystery. Debits and credits, journals and ledgers, balance sheets and income statements, adjusting entries, etc. You get the picture.

A year and a half ago, I bought this book. I now enjoy accounting because the authors were so successful and effective in teaching its precepts. Lerner and Cashin have turned muddy water into a clear pool. Why weren't my college professors so effective?

I read this book from cover to cover. I'm hoping that others will benefit as much as I have from this book. Chapters cover: accounting concepts, financial statements, transactional classification, adjusting and closing procedures, business and merchandising worksheets, methods of valuing inventory, receivables, cash and its control, payroll, and also property plant and equipment

The magic of this book revolves around lucid explanations and practical examples. The authors teach the principles, provide numerous examples and then afford the reader the opportunity to apply the lessons material. The book takes you step by step and builds upon the fundamentals.

If you take the time to do the chapter end problems, you should benefit greatly from this introduction to accounting.

Truly, I think the book is a wonderful resource and guide.

Oracle E-Business Suite Financials Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series)

Amazon.com

Oracle Financials play a big role in the information infrastructures of many companies, and a solid understanding of that environment can pay very large dividends in consulting work. Oracle Certified Professional Financial Applications Consultant Exam Guide readies you for the four exams (two core and two elective) that make up the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Financial Applications Consultant track. The book tackles the exams one at a time, explaining what you need to know--conceptually, as well as in terms of software details--about the Oracle Financials environment. The exercises help drive information into your long-term memory, and each chapter is peppered with review questions that help prepare you for what's on the exams.

This is more than a test-prep book, however, and it's likely that you'll be happy with it even if you have no plans to pursue a formal Oracle certification. The large and complicated concepts that underlie Oracle Financials are explained, a difficult job that the book does well. It's also careful to maintain a focus on business objectives, instead of on characteristics of the software itself. One section explains the process of creating a blanket purchase order, properly accounting for the purchases that are made against it, and then releasing individual purchase authorizations under the order's terms. The index is extensive and detailed, so finding the documentation that you need is rather easy. --David Wall

Topics covered: The Oracle Financials suite of applications, with a bit of a bias toward the four Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Financial Applications Consultant tests. The details of the material that's on the Financial Management, Applied Technology, Procurement, and Order Fulfillment exams all appear here, which means that you can use this as a general-purpose Oracle Financials reference, and not only as a study helper.

Book Description

Make a smart career move and begin enjoying all the rewards of OCP Financial Applications Consultant certification! This Oracle-endorsed study guide offers a complete preparation system geared to help you pass your exams with flying colors! Bonus CD-ROM contains more than 300 interactive practice exam questions.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Cost Management Tool.......2006-10-03

The author did a good job of coming up with a user friendly book on Activity-Based Costing (ABC). ABC is critical in alerting managers of the major and subsidiary drivers of costs. Many companies, large and small, have benefited from employing ABC techniques.

The book is readable by both the expert and novice in accounting. The novice will benefit from the detailed introduction into accounting systems and the concept of ABC. The author then methodically explains how costs can be allocated to products and services.

Those managers in the manufacturing industry will benefit the most as the book has a manufacturing bias, although the author did his best to also make the book relevant to those in the service industry. The various case studies and practical examples reinforce the message and help the reader in consolidating the understanding of ABC.

This is a recommended book that helps the reader to learn and comprehend the important technique of ABC that should enable companies to eliminate hidden costs and be more efficient and competitive.

Using ABC to think about your business.......2000-04-02

O'Guin takes a manufacturing perspective in his lucid explanation of activity based-costing, a management planning tool aimed at discovering what your true costs are by essentially assigning overhead costs to products and customers. The idea is that the more you know about your costs, the better able to compete. The book is ideal for consultants who need a quick read on the process, or managers thinking of implementing the system and require some overall familairity.

He does not totally ignore service businesses either. Very ably, he shows the theoretical underpinnings behind ABC, and points to many examples of "big league" companies, like GE and Hewlett-Packard that have used this method in order to understand the primary and secondary cost drivers.

The first third of the book mixes a history lesson on traditional accounting system with an introduction to ABC. The intro seems a little bit long, and I found myself wishing that he would get to the design and implementation of the system (which is the reason I was reading the book-part of a redesign consulting contract).

The author rarely speaks down to his audience. In fact, unlike many systems type books I have read in the last few years, O'Guin is able to continually build on what is presented previously in the book without endless looping. He assumes a level of intelligence and interest which you will find yourself thanking him for when you are trying to figure out how to allocate the cost of the bolt to the large customer shipping cost for the new product line 3rd shift, or some such permutation.

The second half of the book gets more into the nuts and bolts, so to speak, and describes how ABC might work in a typical firm. I imagine many of the readers will be of the small manufacturing bent, and this book really answers most of the questions you would have. The next step would probably be to talk to someone that has actually implemented the system.

The final third of the book deals with the strategic outlook for American industry and how ABC can be used as a management tool to increase competitiveness. The author never gets too preachy and mixes a good deal of his opinions with common sense and practical examples. Finally, the Appendix consolidates much of what he has been saying into charts and summations. In addition, the book provides the sources much reference material - something for every taste.

ABC is a system that may seem like learning a foreign language to the initiate. O'Guin does an excellent job of providing the basics. He gets you up to speed quickly and leaves you with enough information to have a basic understanding of ABC and its implementation. Highly recommended.

Book Description

Compliance requirements are here to stay.

Prepare your company for the growing challenge.

A Wall Street Journal/Harris poll revealed that two thirds of investors express doubts in the ability of corporate boards of directors to provide effective oversight. In the shadow of recent global scandals involving businesses such as Parmalat and WorldCom, Manager's Guide to Compliance: Best Practices and Case Studies is essential reading for you, whether your organization is a major corporation or a small business.

This timely handbook places U.S. and global regulatory information, as well as critical compliance guidance, in an easy-to-access format and helps you make sense of all the complex issues connected with fraud and compliance.

"Wide perspectives and best practices combined deliver a punch that will knock your 'SOX' off! The author has blended together a critical mix necessary for effectively handling the requirements of SOX."
—Rob Nance, Publisher, AccountingWEB, Inc.

"Robust compliance and corporate governance is an absolute necessity in today's business environment. This new book by Anthony Tarantino is an authoritative guide to understanding and implementing compliance and regulatory requirements in the United States and around the world. From SOX to COSO to ERM, this book covers them all."
—Martin T. Biegelman, Certified Fraud Examiner, Fellow and Regent Emeritus of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and coauthor of Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control: Creating a Culture of Compliance

"If compliance wasn't difficult enough, now companies are faced with a barrage of technology vendors claiming to automate compliance as if it were a project. In his new book, Dr. Tarantino paints the reality of the situation: companies need to embrace the broader tenets of governance and use technology to embed governance policies and controls into their daily business processes. Only then can they gain business value from their compliance investments."
—Chris Capdevila, CEO and cofounder, LogicalApps

Reference only.......2007-07-04

Useful as a reference guide, but not something that I would recommend as the first or last read on Compliance. Have kept it around as a great reference document.

very useful book.......2007-03-13

i have just read some chapter such as Sarbanes-Oxley and fast scan the other. I think it is the book which i look for.

Outstanding.......2007-01-24

Prior to reading this book I knew almost nothing about compliance. The book is well written and easy to understand for anyone that has formal accounting education. The book provided a tremendous amount of insight, and was very practical. The book has helped out at work tremendously.

Most Helpful for My Accounting and Auditing Groups.......2006-04-29

As the CFO of a privately held company looking to go public in the next few years this is what we needed to focus our compliance and governance programs.

Essential Reading for My US and Chinese Businesses.......2006-04-29

Dr. Tarantino's book was exactly what I needed to understand the many regulations facing my businesses in the US and China. It will be required reading for my various managers and directors.

Summary with no meat.......2006-08-06

The book is simply a summary outline of the material for the CFP test, which can easily be obtained on the Board's website. Without sufficient detail, I can not imagine how it could be helpful.

Anthony

You get what you pay for..........2006-03-19

Just took the CFP exam yesterday. I'm a quick study, have been in the industry a while, am a CLU/ChFC, so I hoped I could find a condensed study guide that would serve to refresh my memory and allow me to skate through. I'm CHEAP too, so I was hoping I could save some $$$ by not enrolling in a review course.

Fortunate for me, a buddy that passed the exam last year and paid $1,200 for a BISYS review course heard I was taking the test and loaned me HIS books (all 2500 pages) as a supplement to this study guide. Those materials SAVED MY HIDE!!! I would have failed if I relied on this book. The tax data is all outdated and critical to the exam. Even if it were updated, there is still a HUGE amount of material missing that you need to know. Didn't even work for me as an outline. This is a hard test, so don't fool yourself like I did.

Great book!.......2006-03-10

I'm finding this book very useful and i'm happy that it was available at a much cheaper price. Thanks.

Please Don't Waste Your Money Like I Did !!!!!!!.......2005-10-25

I recently spent a bunch of money to take one of the several well established review courses. I purchased this book since it was relatively inexpensive and I thought I would check out the materials as a portable outline.

The book has not been updated since 2003. So much of the material is outdated!! Big problem!!! Need I say more!

Further, Amazon doesn't have a worthy return policy since I purchased this. I might change my review if the price were $5 because it isn't worth anymore.

Avoid Avoid Avoid

Overly brief.......2005-08-06

This book is too brief to be helpful. It is mainly an outline, with not much more detail than the CFP exam topics list. It doesn't serve as a very helpful reference resource because the Table of Contents is too simplistic, and has a very minimal index.
