Although extremely rigorous in definitions and concepts, definitely not the type of text book I would recommend for a MBA introductory accounting class. Steer clear. The structure is confusing, and the way it has been presented to me (by one of the authors) made it even more confusing. Only positive note are the problems at the end of each chapter, which are challenging enough and offer a good preparation even for the toughest tests. Previously, I had another intro accounting class in which Horngren/Harrison Financial Accounting Managerial was used. I have found this latter text book much clearer, to the point, concise.

This book will take you from zero to hero in understanding financial accounting, providing you put in the effort to learn the material presented.

I was so lost with this book and thought it was my lack of background knowledge in the topic that was causing all the confusion. Nope, even my friend who is a CPA was stumped by this book's explanations. If your prof insists on using this book get the Schaum's Guideline of Managerial Accounting study guide/outline. It will save your bacon and your GPA.
