1 comments about ALEKS User's Guide and Access Code for Accounting Cycle (Stand Alone 6 Week).

1. Everyone in my accounting class is raving about how much this products has helped them understand the assingments. I was skeptical but I too found ALEKS to be easy to use and very helpful. However, I feel like this product could have been at least $10 less than it was. Still, it was worth it.

3 comments about Financial Statement Analysis (2nd Edition) (Prentice-Hall Series in Accounting).

1. "Financial Statement Analysis" is one of the very best basic textbooks in its field. It guides the readers through both teoretical (academic) and practical sides of financial statement analysis. The text is clear cut and rather easily read, but heavier discussions of important topics are found in the appendices. The only real disadvantage of this book is its age. Especially in the data analysis part of financial statement analysis has there been considerable changes since 1986, with respect to capacity and speed of computers etc. The examples too are of course somewhat outdated. In spite of its age, this is a book that we will recommend to all of you interested in learning about the analysis of financial statements.



2. Probably this was a great book on FSA in 1985, but now with the proliferation of FSA books, this outdated book has no place in one's book shelf. Get White, Sondhi & Fried. I don't understand why the author has never bothered to update this book.



3. ... The book would have no match for researchers had it been updated. However, I still feel the book teaches a lot about data management and data usage and is still agreat book for academic research. This is an unevitable book for the researchers. I would personally be obliged if the author could and publishers get the book updated.

2 comments about Corporate Governance Post-Sarbanes-Oxley: Regulations, Requirements, and Integrated Processes.

1. This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of corporate governance and investor protection since the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. It is saturated with overviews and details that anyone with even the slightest interest in corporate governance and public companies should enjoy. This would be a great reference for a course or seminar on the subject, and is a must-have for corporate executives, directors, auditors, investors, and accountants.



2. I used CGPSO as my primary source for a article I wrote about corporate scandal. I found everything I needed about all the issues affecting responsible business practices post-SOX. Very detailed, full of examples and helpful lists. This one is also good: Financial Statement Fraud: Prevention and Detection

1 comments about Equilibrium Analysis (Advanced Textbooks in Economics).

1. On little less than 300 pages, Hildenbrand and Kirman give an exceptionally deep introduction to equilibrium analysis. The main topics are Walrasian equilibria (optimal choices relative to a price induced budget set), the core (a generalization of the familiar contract curve), and the relationship between the two. Everything is done in an exchange framework (i.e. no production), which makes it easier to focus on the concepts involved.

   Kirman and Hildenbrand prove the existence of Walrasian equilibria, give conditions for the core to be non-empty, show how the core of finite economies converges to the Walrasian equilibria and demonstrate the equivalency between Walrasian equilibria and the core in economies with an continuum of traders. In the last chapter they look at the structure of excess demand functions, conditions for uniqueness and stability in respect to tâtonnement dynamics (no trade until equilibrium is reached). Four appendices give essentially all the mathemtical background needed, except for a little calculus and linear algebra needed in the last chapter. A motivating overview of the content is given in an informal introduction.

   All results are well discussed and put in the proper context. The authors don't shy away from showing the limitations of the models. They also point out how one can weaken certain assumptions involved.
