Excellent Book.......2005-10-03

management accouting for steve albrecht, et al.......2003-02-09
this text hasn't included solutions manual that's big trouble for student
Missing major material.......2003-01-22
This book was required for my accounting class. It seems the have the holes of Swiss cheese though. While it probably covers the basics of Financial Accounting as well as any other book, it lacks some things that I thought would be entirely useful. For example only the odd exercises have the solutions in the back. Maybe it's just me, but I expect all since I'm in college. Furthermore, despite the copyright date of 2002, this edition contains a lot of old material. It lists Market Capitalization information about Microsoft from the spring and summer of 2000, the peak in stock prices. Also in the first chapter it speaks of accounting ethics and references a speech made in 1998 by the chairman of the SEC. It makes no mention to the scandals of Enron, WorldCom etc. (Enron declared bankruptcy on Dec. 2, 2001.) This edition appears to be just a desire by the authors to put out a new edition to limit the used book trade of the 7th edition and make more money for the authors.
If you can avoid it, do not buy this edition new.

Highly recommended.......2005-03-28
A very comprehensive and informative book, even though the examples are for the US it can be used and applied to other countries and systems. Gives a good grounding for financial understanding of healthcare entities. Highly recommend it to anyone looking interested in financial managment of health care organizations
Right to the point!.......2004-03-28
I found it very consice, and at the same time understandable with lots of examples, and practical. It is very well customized for health care organizations. It's worth your time and your money!
Financial Management of Healthcare Organizations.......2003-05-16
This text proved an invaluable guide to the subject of hospital finances. This was a subject I was not particularly interested in, and the book surprised me. It is readable and clear. The logic flows smoothly. There are plenty of examples, illustrating assorted principles. After reading several books on the topic of hospital finances, this one stands out for its clarity.
Book Description
The essential concepts of accounting information systems in a concise, straightforward format. This book focuses on the role of an accountant as a user, evaluator and designer of the typical transaction processing systems and cycles used by an enterprise.

One of the Best AIS Texts.......2003-03-29
I have used the fourth edition of this book, and it's one of the best AIS text books I have seen. It's concise, to the point, and informative. The fourth edition of this book gets the point across without being longwinded. Supplementary materials are included on a CD and can be accessed if needed or to supplement the text material. The problems are extremely useful. I highly recommend this text for use in accounting information systems classes.
An overkill textbook.......1999-05-12
As a textbook for an accounting systems class, this text is extremely cumbersome and long-winded. The authors seem to want to beat every subject to death, which results in excrutiatingly long chapters. Much of the material may be relevant to information systems majors taking it in a series of two classes, but is probably not suitable for an accounting major class. The writing style is boring and cryptic in many places. Look into the Gelinas/Sutton/Oram or Bodnar/Hopwood books for much better content and readability.
This is a university text book, not a reference book.......1997-11-10
I was looking for specialized information and I failed to understand that "Essential Concepts and Applications" meant just what it said: this is a university text book for students, and in this quality it certainly rates a high grade, (although I am not qualified to say if it rates $ 311), but as a reference book for professional in the field, it is useless: half of the book introduces essentials of computer technology, the other half essentials of accounting, but none in depth. I will be more careful in the future and can only lament the loss. However, as a study text book, it is probably very good.
Book Description
The name areas for AIS, as identified by the AAA Committee on Contemporary Approach to Teaching AIS, are all addressed.
* Real world cases are woven into the text material.
* Each chapter highlights a real world case or concept in the AIS at Work feature.
Customer Reviews:
Good source........2007-07-06
I read the one review on this book and I don't agree. I think if you don't know anything about accounting information systems this book might appear to be scattered. However, if you have some exposure to AIS(Accounting Information Systems) you'll immediately recognize the flow of topics is typical of the subject. The author is very thorough and organized in his coverage and gives required insight. A book about AIS is not going to read like an accounting textbook, nor are the topics going to be mastered in the same way. I really liked the book. I originally read the library's copy, but I bought my own because it was so good and I wanted a copy.
Bad.......2005-10-30
This book is very disorganized. One chapter is flowcharts, next is viruses, next is flowcharts, lets talk about sarbanes oaxley and than flow charts again, now maybe some discussion about SAP and reducing clerical costs then some ERP architecture.
Where they just throwing darts at a piece of paper with topics?
Also, no attempt at a solutions manual to the poorly worded questions. Poorly worded questions which also content wise where pretty stupid, (ie bob notices 50$ missing from his petty cash fund every week, he leaves the counter and he has many people manning the store including janitors. What are preventive controls he can implement)

Excellent Book.......2002-07-18
As an Information Technology consultant working w/health care professionals, I needed a standard reference to better understand my clients' needs.
I was working on my Masters of Accountancy after finishing my MBA, and I was lucky enough to find a Health Care Accounting course which used this text book.
I cannot recommend the book highly enough. If you take the time to read the different sections of the book, and read the (copious) scenario problems at the end of the section where the lessons are applied, you will acquire a much richer understanding of the accounting dynamics in health care.
Excellent primer for Health Care number crunchers.......1999-04-16
I work in a health care administration postion and found the book to be very useful for refreshing me on basic accounting concepts as well as covering more complex topics of health care finance and cost accounting. I would highly recommend this book as a reference for health care institutions (especially hospitals) for orientation and as a way to educate their managers. The real-life examples and problems are invaluable for explaining the topics covered in each chapter.

Book Description
Part of the highly successful Shelly Cashman Series, this brief text offers a screen-by-screen, step-by-step approach to learning basic Microsoft Office 97 skills.
Customer Reviews:
A decent reference and learning tool for BEGINNERS..........1999-11-10
Overall a good book for BEGINNERS. There are a LOT of pictures and graphics inside which reduce the 1000+ pages to only about 300 pages of actual information. If you already know anything at all about Office 97, you might want to get a slightly more advanced book. Perhaps one of the intermediate ones of the series. A few small symantic errors in a couple of the labs. However, overall, it is a great book for people new to Office 97.
Excellent for Introductory Students.......1999-08-24
This laboratory book is excellent for introductory students. Re the review that thought it was for extremely slow learners, I disagree. It IS tedious for those who know the ropes, but for introductory students, who spend a lot of time "lost", this is just the book for them.
William A. Bradnan, Hilton Head Island SC
This is a terrible book!.......1999-07-02
This is a terrible book! Unless you are _extremely_ slow at learning the inane detail is maddening.
Good overview of Office 97.......1999-04-27
I have used this book in two computer classes I have taken. I found it to be very useful in teaching me the basics of all the Office 97 programs but it was a bit simplistic at times. They showed you how to do things so many different times that it got tiring. Also, I found the section on Outlook to be very poor. This book was good and I did learn a lot from it but I think it could have been a lot better.
Down to Earth Language and Concepts.......1998-11-10
I took a class with this book as the instructional manual. I found it very easy to understand and follow. Language was basic and it really helped to improve my skills and my understanding of some of the concepts that seemed complicated to me before. This is a great at home/work resource book and I highly recommend it.

A Practical Trouble Shooting Guide.......1999-01-18
This book offers an excellent framework to build your own consulting process, or to examine an existing process with others. The authors offer several roles played by consultants and describe when each is appropriate. As a manager, I have found it an excellent tool to enable internal consultants to objectively examine their own projects in both planning and corrective modes.
If you're stuck, or manage people who are stuck, this book is likely to help.
