Book Reviews of Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making

Book Review: Highway robbery
Summary: 1 Stars

This book and the service surrounding it is absolute garbage. The positive reviews it has received are highly dubious. The book is very unclear with terminology, and the lack of answer keys to check your progress makes this worse. If you're buying this used be prepared to wade through red tape to get access to an answer key. 70 bucks for a single semester of access, and you won't have access as soon as you pay, you will also need a url from your instructor to access the site. I understand why this is needed for your class specific information but to simply access the sites tools, like an answer sheet, should not require anything more than your subscription...actually it should have come with the book.

I have taken two other classes with website support material and I did not have to go through near the trouble. I am likely to take my complaint to my colleges administration as this book would only be tolerable to someone strong in this field, which defeats its purpose.

Summary of Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making

Now in its Fourth Edition, Kimmel, Weygandt, and Kieso's Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making has been tested and approved in the classroom. Whether you measure classroom success by improved grades, students who are better prepared for the Intermediate course and their future careers, or by student evaluations at the end of the semester, Financial Accounting delivers real results.

"If you are teaching a debit/credit centered financial accounting principles class there is not a better written or organized text. Believe me I have looked. The supporting materials for instructors [are] also terrific."
--Nancy Snow, University of Toledo

"The textbook is well written with good examples and homework problems. This book is easy to understand, but is rigorous in its coverage of accounting issues."
--Paul Brazina, La Salle University, Philadelphia

"Best presentation of material in the industry. In addition, Financial, Managerial and Intermediate all flow together for greater coverage and comprehension."
--Vince Enslein, Clinton Community College
