Grim, grinding, and expensive; this is the the best you can get.......2007-06-06

My qualifications: BA in Business, BS is Accountancy, MBA finance, CPA, Corporate Controller and Financial Mananger. I've been buying and reviewing new editions of this text every few years for over 20 years now. Why? Becasue if accountancy is your profession you cannot afford not to be completely up to date. Things change. Even all you want to do is make a decent salary and vegetate somewhere, someone is trying to bury you and take your job (or your company). Count on it. It is about competiveness, survival, and prospering. When can you quit studying? Never.

This is the text to put you ahead. I have seen shorter, more simple, less comprehensive, and much cheaper texts. But do you want the competitive edge or not?

There are other non-book alternatives. If your're a CPA, you'll have to keep plugging along with the CPE programs forever (sigh), but they don't hack it in depth compared to this. Even the AICPA's Journal of Accountancy, though highly reccomended, and far more timely than any book, cannot cover the details adequately.

Or you could take a CPA exam review course like Becker's every so oftern. That will set you back a fortune and hundreds of hours of your life. But you will be completely up to the minute on most everything. How long you remember everything after finishing the review course is another question.

"A practicing CPA simply cannot know the answers to many practice questions as they arise but rather needs the ability to find such answers." (NASBA site) This is the one stop text to do it.

A couple pieces of advice. Don't take the text into the office unless you see it (or others like it) on partners' bookshelves. Keep it out in the car for lunch, afterwork, fake restroom breaks,last minute reviews before you go in, or whatever. Also, never ever take it into a client's site. It may sometimes seem like a good idea, but your manager will probably slap you around for it.

Any text is only good for a few years, then spring for a new edition. If you get this text, give yourself some time working through it on the parts that are new to you or give you the most trouble or worry at work. Then consider buying the study guide. It's not a substitute for the book but it can speed things up for you a lot.

If you think this is a lot of work or baloney, try weighing it against not getting a good raise or promotion. Best wishes and good look.

P.S. I'm on this page because I'm buying my latest copy.

Worth the money.......2007-02-09

I was skeptical when I bought this but it is worth it. It gives you tips, example problems and shows, you how to break them down step by step. The only shortcoming is that the book does not cover every type of problem in each chapter. It does give you a good hint on at least how to start.

Best Accounting Textbook available.......2007-01-04

From what I have been told by my accounting instructors, this is the best accounting textbook on the market. It is 1400 pages of everything you would ever want to know about accounting!

Customer Reviews:

Absolutely horrible text.......2007-05-28

This book has lots of examples, I'll give the other reviewers that, but it doesn't explain very well how they get from point A to point B. This book, as well as all introductory accounting books, need to be written so that they can be understood by a person that picks up a book on their own could figure out what was going on. It isn't written for the intro student. There has been times that my instructor, whom is a professional in the field of accounting, has not been able to figure out what they were asking for.

Decent Book.......2007-01-03

This is a good teaching book. It does a great job at explaining concepts and seems to be easy reading.

Excellent Accounting Textbook.......2006-11-15

Using it for my Intermediate Accounting Classes and it's a very detailed and easy to pick up. It's also very organized with the course material.

Great Book on Accounting .......2006-07-10

Very good book on Accounting 101. It does cover most of the basic topics of Accounting and has lots of examples.
It was more fun taking the class from Prof Sepe, in SCU. He makes Accounting so easy that a person like me with non Accounting background can understand it too.

This book was a great help in studying for exams. The problems are good (and there are plenty) and the answers are immediately available with detailed explanations. I highly recommend this workbook.

Intermediate Accounting.......2005-08-03

I was struggling (what I call struggling) in the class until I bought this book along with Volume II. I found that it helped me immensely. Though my instructor is good, she goes through things a lot faster than I was able to take notes for. This book was definately beneficial for keeping my GPA!!!

Great Accounting companion.......2003-09-28

This book is a great companion to the Textbook Intermediate Accounting by Donald E. Kieso, and Jerry Weygandt. Helpful to the serious accounting student in identifying their mistakes and correcting them. Aids the student in the correct formatting for this course. This should be used only after the problems have been worked out as a check.

book purchase.......2007-05-24

Timely delivery and exactly as ordered. I would order from them again.

Useless.......2007-03-25

I consider this book to be useless for intermediate accounting students. It contains only several pages of terms and their definitions presented in the order used in the text. Intermediate accounting students should already be familiar with most of these terms or be able to more easily find them in the text or Study Guide. There are no working problems or even a hint of them in this book. Students would be much better off spending their money on the useful Study Guide and/or a Solutions Manual.

Only gives you definitions of terms........2007-03-19

I got this book to help me study the text better but this is only good for definitions. It doesn't explain any problems at all! The publisher's study guide is the best to use if you want explainations of problems.

Problem-Solving Survival Guide: Intermediate Accounting Vol. 2, Chapters 15-24.......2007-01-05

The problem solving guide gave excellent chapter sumarry for test review. The additional tips and explanations aided my understanding of the material and working through the problems showed practical applications of the material. I think it improved my class grade from a C to a high B. Highly reccomend it to students like me.

The Vol. 2 is not as good as Vol. 1.......2006-03-10

I received the book recently. Compared with its Vol. 1, this book is not as good. I've just gone over Chapters 14 and 15. The examples are not as clearly presented as the ones in Vol. 1. I have to say this book is not up to my expectations, but the book, of course, can still help.

Must have to accompany the textbook.......2005-10-20

The title, Survival Guide, is exactly as it means. This workbook, that accompanies `Intermediate Accounting' by Donald Kieso, is necessary to survive and understand intermediate accounting! The key is it gives you many more examples and probable situations to solve than the textbook could handle. I would not have done as well as I did in class without it!

Problem-Solving Survival Guide: Int Act. Vol. 2 Ch 15-24.......2005-09-24

Completing the workbook items really helps reinforce concepts and offers great practice for tests. The book is not perfect. There's an occasional typo, and I wish there was more space to write in the workbook, and I was expecting it to cost a bit less, but in my opinion the book is very worthwhile to use.

Intermediate Accounting.......2005-08-03

Haven't used this book yet. Will next semester. Volume I of this series was of great use to me. By practising the exercises my memory retention and understanding went a whole lot further. I would say this would be a worthwhile purchase.

Although the instructions say to read the Study Guide after the text. I prefer to read it first. The summaries are a great introduction to the topic before class lectures and make the text more understandable - it's easier to comprehend the big picture of the chapter in the summaries than when reading 20 - 30 pages of text. True/False and multiple choice questions are also helpful. Explanations of False answers are given in the answer section.

Absolutely Essential!!!.......2007-03-15

The Survival Guide provides the reader with an approach for solving the exercises and problems in the Intermediate Accounting textbook. This guide will help you develop the ability to solve accounting problems. It offers the reader SUMMARY OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES, TIPS ON CHAPTER TOPICS, and addtional illustrations not in the textbook. As I said before, and it's worth say it again, the real value of this guide is it provides the reader with an approach to solving the problems. This in turn gives one an excellent feel for how to apply the material presented in the textbook. I find the ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE-CHOICE TYPE QUESTIONS an excellent way to sharpen my knowledge of the material. When working through the questions I find myself constantly reviewing the textbook which is key to internalizing the material. In short, if you really want to learn this material get this guide. That way by test time you will be bringing your 'A' game.

This guide breaks down the chapter and gives you plenty of clear instruction. It also gives some exercises very useful in sharpening your knowledge.
