- Horrible book
Advanced Accounting (9th Edition) (Advanced Accounting)

This is a horribly written book. The answers to the exercises are really hard to find in the text. A book should not involve a deep thought process, as that should be saved for the exams. I don't think the author matched well with his questions and what he or she wrote in the book. There is too much history and news in it and not enough of "should know" things. The bottom line is that FASB does what it wants, who cares why, who cares when.... just tell me what it is.

- Need more examples -- rely on website?
As a student I found this book's transaction examples to be somewhat limited. For instance, in the existing-foreign-currency-transaction hedge examples, both cash-flow and fair-value, only A/R adjustments are treated, there are no *buy side* transactions with A/P illustrated. There are also a lot of minor errors that are distracting.

As background for dissusion of the Beams "Advanced Accounting" text, 9th ed.: I took advanced accounting at one university last summer (which covered much of advanced accounting, but no accounting for not-for-profit organizations). Due to scheduling availability, I am taking advanced accounting at a different university this summer...this class WILL cover not-for-profit accounting issues, which is why I am taking it.

I wish the same could be said of the Beams "Advanced Accounting" 9th ed. Currently in my study of the fourth chapter, I find the text frequently wanders off topic, and contains surprising errors. For example, on page 106 (Chapt.4), it makes a math error ($30,000 ... Read More
