Very help me in learning accounting

[Vicky]

I am sure this textbook is fine, but mainly I think textbooks like this one—where there are problems at the back of the chapter to solve and check against a solutions key—are either outdated or poorly written. Like c'mon, I am trying to find the literal steps to set up an activity-based costing system, and I should be able to flip thru the pages, find it clearly by header, "How to Set Up Activity-Based Costing System" and then do it myself. Instead, I spent three weeks feeling so dense and hopeless, though on the plus side, I came into this class expecting to do average. My teacher lectures like an auctioneer, and I had him before, so I knew I was coming in for the anecdotal stories and jokes. At the last minute, before the final exam, I felt like I reached SO MUCH more clarity with the help of YouTube videos. Here is my SOS playlist. If only I had started from the beginning with the videos, would I have done better? If I had access to Khan Academy as a child in grade school, would I have more confidence in math? Sunk cost tangential thoughts :(

This is a classic book to learn different accounting concepts.

[Haytham Badawey]

The first book I read about managerial accounting, it's mostly about cost accounting and managerial perspective to the accounting tools and indicators.

This subject covers topics related to accounting, financial analysis, micro-economics, managements and many more. It's a integration of many helpful lessons and topics that are very hard (and costly) to learn in practice and real life.

I think a business manager who doesn't know the lessons in this book is going to have a bad time, and a bankruptcy too!

Managerial accounting is very important to every business-manager.

Mandatory knowledge and reading for anyone starting a business. Makes the difference between those who fail and those that are successful!

[Alfian]

Encouraged to think about why techniques are used, not to apply the techniques.
