Customer Reviews:
Tax is just hard.......2007-01-03
The outline was very helpful--tax is just a difficult subject to master. I used the book as a supplement to my text book. You certainly cannot use only the outline and expect to learn federal income tax well. It is an invaluable resource when used to help reinforce a concept. Also, when I did not understand a concept the outline was great because it generally used easier terms and examples to explain the bare bones of a subject. Once I understood the outline's explanation, it was much easier to understand my text book.
good outline.......2006-08-16
This is just about as good as the other emanuel outlines, but income tax is a diificult subject to outline.
This book is bad........2006-07-30
I usually like the Emanuel outlines and have found them invaluable now for eight other courses I've taken. The Taxation outline is an exception. I forced myself through the first five chapters in this book and then gave up on it, realizing that it was not adding to my general understanding of the course material or any of the little details either, for that matter. It was too hard to read and follow to be of help.
mediocre .......2006-07-24
It's a mediocre tax law outline--simply put. Buy it used, if at all.
The worst commercial outline for beginners.......2006-06-19
This commercial outline is terrible as an introduction to federal income tax. It takes FOREVER to find basic definitions, such as the distinction between ordinary income and capital assets. Without an understanding of these definitions, you won't understand anything in the book, yet the author fails to make the definitions clear.
For example, I first went to the capsule summary to find the definition of "capital asset" and then found that I had to turn to another section of the book. When I turned to that page, I found that I had to turn a couple more pages to find only PART of the definition of "capital asset" and then I had to turn to yet another section of the book, no pages provided by the author this time, to get the rest of the definition.
To make a long story short, the organization of this book makes no sense at all. If you already understand federal income tax, this commercial outline might be useful as a review. Otherwise, if you're taking tax only because you feel obligated by the requirements of your bar exam, then perhaps another commerical outline is better.
Product Description
CrunchTime provides a comprehensive topic breakdown and critical information review all in one tool!

Product Description
CCH's 2005 Federal Taxation: Basic Principles (21st Edition) is a popular first-level tax course that provides a clear concise explanation of the fundamental tax concepts covering both tax planning and compliance. Basic Principles strikes a perfect balance between the AICPA model curriculum (focus on business tax) and the demands favored by most teachers (cover the fundamentals and build towards the complex). The book is also a favorite in distant learning, because of its clarity and direct approach--and it is also used in special programs like CFP courses. Basic Principles covers the core tax concepts and principles, including individual taxation, gross income, deductions, credits, property transactions, accounting methods and periods, deferred compensation, retirement plans, partnerships, corporations, trusts and estates, and tax planning for individuals. It is written by an editorial board of tax teachers that includes members who are currently active in the American Accounting Association, American Taxation Association, the National Tax Challenge, CFP education, CPE lectures, CPA preparation and other programs, so you can be assured that the text is allied with real-world educational outcomes. The 2005 Edition reflects new tax legislation, recent case law and regulatory developments.
Book Description
Introduces the basic structure for taxing C corporations, partnerships, and S corporations, and reviews several fundamental concepts in dealing with problems in business taxation, such as the Crane rule involving transfers of property subject to liabilities, and the like-kind exchange provision. Most major topics are introduced by a textual discussion of the basic tax factors involved followed by a summary problem that requires reading relevant sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Treasury Regulations. Cases, rulings, notes, and problems that deal with more esoteric issues are then presented. The book contains many of the most significant cases and rulings on each major topic.

Customer Reviews:
This book combines practical advice with real-world examples.......1999-07-07
In his first book "Internal Quality System Audits" (no longer in print) Mr. Lewis identified the basic fundamental auditing skills and techniques needed to ensure effective and efficient development, implementation and maintenance of "value added" internal auditing capabilities. Our internal auditing operations have been in place for over four years now and I still find myself referring to this book for guidance on regular bases. It is the most dog-eared of all my books on quality and quality operating systems.
His second book "Internal Quality Systems Auditing" includes and builds on these proven methodologies and has now replaced its dog-eared predecessor as my desk reference. The updated sections on development of audit programs and checklists, documenting audit observations and findings, and audit reporting techniques provide the latest guidance for addressing evolving quality system requirements.
The latest edition makes a great reference and helps keep my audit reporting on track.
An excellent teaching tool for internal auditor training........1999-05-20
The "Internal Quality System Audits" book has proven to be a valuable tool for our internal audit team. The guidelines and the checklists have been used by our company from the beginning of our ISO program, and all seven of our internal auditors have accomplished top quality audits with skill and confidence.
"Internal Quality System Audits" is an excellent teaching tool for internal auditor training.
A true "how-to" desk level document........1999-05-12
As a certified quality system auditor and contracted ISO 9000/QS 9000 quality systems consultant I use the auditing methodoligies, tools and techniques presented in this book when establishing internal auditing operations for my clients. I also use the book as a desk referencs when functioning as their lead internal auditor.
If your goal is to develop, implement and maintain an effective and efficient internal audit operation this book is a must have. Internal Quality Systems Auditing is truly a "how-to" presentation.

A Very Valuable Tool.......2003-08-19
This information is very, very helpful. It made my audit much easier and helped me be very thorough. It was such a time saver, saving me hours of audit prep time. It was also very helpful in organizing my audit. It was nice to have a tool to allow me to cover all my material in a logical systematic way. I'm sure that this book will help me be a better auditor in the future.
Audits ARE easier AND more valuable.......2002-12-06
Great book! It made me look at audits in a totally different way. We used to do audits just to meet the requirements of ISO 9001. But now we are actually calculating return on investment on some of our findings!

Customer Reviews:
My impression........2001-07-28
The book is very general in nature. It really doesn't show how to set parameters and test them. More importantly, it doesn't mention how to analyze in detail a parameter that falls out of the required quality control boundaries after testing takes place.
I wasn't very satisfied. The section on audit reports was the only one that seemed useful.

Book Description
'Control self assessment is sweeping the management and auditing worlds by storm. At last we have in just one place the authoritative guide to its practical application. Until now CSA had been shrouded in too much mystery and would-be practitioners had been largely at the expensive mercies of consultants or their own trial and error. It is impressive that the editors of this substantial volume have persuaded so many leading practitioners from most sectors and from several countries to pool their immense practical experience of CSA in a highly accessible way.' Andrew Chambers, Managing Director of Management Audit, Emeritus Professor City University London and former Chief Executive of City Business School 'This book should provide a very useful reference point for anyone who is thinking about introducing CRSA, or who is in the early stages of implementing it. The sections covering experiences of implementing CRSA....are likely to be particularly useful. They should give you help in selecting the right approach and the most appropriate techniques for your own organisation.' Liam Fitzpatrick, Director, Oxley Fitzpatrick & Associates Ltd Control Self Assessment is 'a formalised, documented and committed approach to the regular, fundamental and open review by managers and staff of the strength of control systems designed and operated to achieve business objectives and guard against critical risks within their sphere of influence' (Keith Wade). This book gives practical guidance on how such techniques may be introduced in an organisation and describes the implementation of CSA in a variety of organisations both in the private and public sectors.

Customer Reviews:
Not worth the price.......2007-01-10
Although this little book has some helpful reference material, I was hugely disappointed. It is not worth the $20 that I paid for it.
Steps through the basics.......2004-07-11
This book is an introduction to internal auditing. The content is relatively straightforward and generic, providing reasons for internal auditing, and a four step process for performing this function.
Note - this book is high-level and does not address specific auditing requirements such as those associated with Sarbanes-Oxley, or even the mechanics of financial controls. It's all about determining either conformance or compliance (or both).
The four-step process encompasses:
(1) Identify plans (what it is that is supposed to be done)
(2) Observe (are people following the plan)
(3) Evaluate collected facts (evidence associated with the plan and observation steps)
(4) Report the results (findings, gap analysis, etc.)
Chapters 1 and 2 are basic - welcome to auditing, and getting the assignment. The next four chapters provide the structure, approach and principles needed to perform the audit - purpose and scope, preparing for the audit, requirements and planning, and audit strategies. The final five chapters cover conducting the actual audit - initiation, data collection, process techniques/process auditing, analyzing results, and reporting and follow-up.
In addition to the high-level coverage of internal auditing, this book augments this information with a glossary, seven appendices providing example plans, checklists and other useful information to help understand the work product and the auditing process itself. There is an excellent summary at the end of the appendices that give basic auditing principles.
This small book is a good introduction to internal auditing and will give the fundamentals in a clear, easy-to-follow manner.
