Product Description
This exciting, practical introduction arms readers with a practical set of tools, and the confidence to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. It begins with a macro view of accounting information by presenting real financial statements. The authors clearly establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, operating, and investing activities of a business.

Reviews


Accounting
Having need this book for a class I was very pleased with the explinations in the book. the material is easy to understand and makes the subject matter decent.

Delivered as promised
Textbook was delivered within time frame promised. Great condition as advertised. Would buy from seller again.

Disappointed
I was led to believe that this item came with an access code for the publisher's Wileyplus online tools because this was mentioned in the "Key Features" segment of the product description. But to my dissatisfaction it was not. I was forced to purchase the access code separately from the publisher's website for about $68. I only saved $2 by purchasing this text through Amazon.com and this is only because I purchased with free shipping. Moreover, it was not worth the hassle...in the future I will purchase from the school's bookstore, get everything I need in one stop, and know I've purchased the right materials.

Used really means used and in this case bad!
The book arrived on time just like it said on the order form, but the condition of the book was horrible. If I'm not mistaken the book was advertised as used but in good or excellent condition. The corners of the book are rubbed or scuffed off showing the gray cardboard underneath, and the pages are soaked from water damage from pages 1-144. I'll never order from them again.

Highway robbery
This book and the service surrounding it is absolute garbage. The positive reviews it has received are highly dubious. The book is very unclear with terminology, and the lack of answer keys to check your progress makes this worse. If you're buying this used be prepared to wade through red tape to get access to an answer key. 70 bucks for a single semester of access, and you won't have access as soon as you pay, you will also need a url from your instructor to access the site. I understand why this is needed for your class specific information but to simply access the sites tools, like an answer sheet, should not require anything more than your subscription...actually it should have come with the book.

I have taken two other classes with website support material and I did not have to go through near the trouble. I am likely to take my complaint to my colleges administration as this book would only be tolerable to someone strong in this field, which defeats its purpose.
