Book Review: User-friendly, reader will get more confident with this book
Summary: 5 Stars

That's right! Dr. Label explains basic accounting in a such concise, simple way that YOU will get the confidence you need. Starting with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and ending with Generally Auditing Standards (GAAS), we follow the adventures of entreprenaur Sam and Solana Beach Bicycle Corporation. Important terms are in boldface type. Each chapter ends with a vocabulary review. With each definition, Dr. LAbel tells us how and why the term is used. Mathematical forumalas are demonstrated for the visual learner. Also, Dr. Label builds on the information he gives us. Nothing is ever "lost in space" after Dr. Label mentions it. For example, the Balance Sheet isn't just in one chapter, it's shown again and again, where relevant, throughout the book.

The appendix is financial statements of Station Casinos, Inc. Followed by an index.
