The eighth edition adds the latest developments in consolidations, international and governmental accounting, and the CPA exam to produce a textbook that continues to lead the way in currency and readability.
This might be the most boring accounting textbook to date. It was a challenge to get through every chapter without falling asleep. The problems at the end of each chapter, however, were very helpful.
It was a really hard book to read and understand. My class went through this WHOLE book in one semester, which was a very fast-paced schedule. The chapter I really enjoyed reading was the one about non-profit accounting, which mentioned my work place Girl Scouts. Out of the whole book, there were only 2 easy chapters. It didn't help that my professor assigned around 25-50 homework problem each week, which made me hated opening this book.
