This book was part of our text for the MBA program. Being an Engineer having no background in Accounting, this easy to understand book has been very helpful. The chapters build upon one another. One topic naturally leads to the other. The practice problems at the end of the chapter are very good for cementing the learning. The book is scattered with lots of real life examples and problems representing real companies. Buy this book with the solutions manual.

This book makes financial accounting pretty interesting, is easy to read, has good definitions which I think is hugely important for introductions to academic fields, and is organized pretty well. Note: It is not about how to do private or business tax accounting, but rather the fundamentals of financial accounting and financial statements as a whole.

Not very recommended for students with no prior accounting background. Doesn't explain all concepts very clearly, just jumps right into it...Great book if you have plenty of experience with accounting!
