Product Description: With the fourteenth edition of Financial and Managerial Accounting: The Basis for Business Decisions, the Williams author team carries on the tradition of being a solid foundation for students learning basic accounting concepts. Through the revision, the authors have further refined the financial accounting topics, while slightly expanding the managerial accounting material to provide even more balanced coverage.
Hallmarks of the text�including the solid Accounting Cycle Presentation, relevant pedagogy, and high quality, end-of-chapter material�have all been updated and enhanced through the revision. A new design enhances the graphical elements of the text, while the integration of several boxed elements provides a more streamlined approach to chapter topics..
pretty good as good as I imagined, and i wish i could have more chances to purchase textbooks like this~
Decrease in service with newer addition With the 14th edition of this book, the use of the website for studying was taken away, to be replaced with a pay for use service of about $20. My professor would have stayed with the 13th edition had he known that they were going to take away this service to the students. No CD or access to a website for answers to the questions. Book is well written, easy to follow, but needs a more comprehensive glossary, since words and phrases within accounting mean different things and can be interpreted differently depending on the user and with accounting following the GAAP rule this becomes even more important. Practice items are well designed. The Layout of the book demands approximately 100 pages a week for a semester course, for a course in oversight of accounting this is rather hefty. Without a CD or other access privileges, I don't see a need to order this as a new item, go for used!
