I haven’t finished the whole book. I am going along with my class at the same time. So far it appears to be helping me with an Accounting class. I like the worksheets in the book.

My problem with this book starts early with the very first exercise on page 12. On a balance sheet the Assets = Equities, so why, on page 14 (the answer guide balance sheet.. do Assets = $14,600 and Equities = 9,460.00.
As I stated, this is obviously something confusing only to me or someone else would have also noted this mistake, but since I can’t figure it out and there’s no email or phone # to call… I give this book one star.
If anyone can explain… I’d be really grateful.

I had high hopes for this book, based upon all the positive reviews. However, beware that some of the answers given to exercises are incorrect. The earliest and most obvious example is exercise 4.3 on page 30, with the answer presented on page 31 in figure 4.8A. The book’s answer is obviously wrong.

OK, I admit that bookkeeping and accounting are generally perceived as dry subjects, but this was a Really boring read (-1 star)
I don’t find fault with the content, although some examples weren’t very clear, it was straightforward and explained a lot of concepts and covered a full accounting cycle (+4 stars).
The book’s claim to introduce computer-based accounting is a total handwave. They basically mention it and spend two pages explaining computer concepts in general, nothing specific to accounting with a computer. That was really disappointing (-2 stars).

The book starts ok, but then there are many examples that are not very clear. it is definetly not a book for a beginer, if you dont know nothing about bookkeeping, this book wont help much.
