    don't buy new buy used

    I bought this book with the understanding that new books have access codes to Wiley plus. When I received it there was no code and the customer service said it does not state that it comes with one so save your money and don;t purchase this one.

    A Must Have book for Finance Professionals

    This book is one of the most complete books ever read by me on Financial Accounting. The best part about this book is the excellent Visual Explanation of the concepts. The Financial terms have a neat visual alongside to make it easier to understand and recollect. I would like to point out an example - A sole proprietorship has a graphic of Superman, a partnership of Batman and Robin !!! This book also uses the approach of a chedcklist. This means a checklist or a requirement has a solution which are the financial statements. The book has excellent problems and assignments. This book is a must have for any finance professional or for that matter anybody who is interested in learning more about accounting/finance. This book is especially useful for B-school students and faculty
