A Nice Roadmap.......2006-07-09
I have been working with this Wiley Gaap series by years, it is really easy to understand and gives to you a comprehensive backround to understand most of the common topics.
As an opportunity to improve, would be great if this book in a future, include a practical chapter with examples an study cases of the common practices as tips and falls.
a great complement to this book are the Intermediate Accounting (Kyeso) & Advanced Accounting (Baker)
From a student's perspective..........2006-04-21
This is a useful companion to any intermediate accounting text. It explains topics in plain English and in fewer words than most textbooks do. The best part about this guide is its detailed index that has come through in the clutch a few times during open-book exams and the cases that we prepare on a regular basis.
I recommend this book to finance-focused MBA students and anyone who has a job that involves interpreting financial statements or FASB documents.
Wiley GAAP 2006 : Interpretation and Application of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Wiley Gaap).......2006-03-15
Excellent for CPA's
Great Book!.......2005-08-02
GAAP is very hard to understand if it is not in laymen's terms. This book is great at "translating" the prounouncements. I definitely recommend it.
Great GAAP Resource.......2004-12-04
As a frequent reader of accounting literature in my daily activities, I have used the Wiley GAAP Guide for several years. The authors have converted complex accounting issues into well written and easy to understand language. It's a valuable resource.
