As a frequent reader of accounting literature in my daily activities, I have used the Wiley GAAP Guide for several years. The authors have converted complex accounting issues into well written and easy to understand language. It's a valuable resource.

I have been working with this Wiley Gaap series by years, it is really easy to understand and gives to you a comprehensive backround to understand most of the common topics.

As an opportunity to improve, would be great if this book in a future, include a practical chapter with examples an study cases of the common practices as tips and falls.

a great complement to this book are the Intermediate Accounting (Kyeso) & Advanced Accounting (Baker)

This is a useful companion to any intermediate accounting text. It explains topics in plain English and in fewer words than most textbooks do. The best part about this guide is its detailed index that has come through in the clutch a few times during open-book exams and the cases that we prepare on a regular basis.

I recommend this book to finance-focused MBA students and anyone who has a job that involves interpreting financial statements or FASB documents.

GAAP is very hard to understand if it is not in laymen's terms. This book is great at "translating" the prounouncements. I definitely recommend it.

I bought it as a reference book during an MBA class in Financial Statement Analysis. Helpful and complete.

I've been using the Wiley GAAP guide for the past four years and I couldn't practice without it. It presents the standards in a clear and easy to read format. I find the interpretations tell me exactly what I need to know in plain English. I always know I can depend on this book for information and keep in handy on my desk at all times.

I would like to find out as to where could I possibly obtain a copy of this book locally.

I am fr the Philippines and would like to find out if I could buy this book here in our Country.

Pls advise.

The definitive GAAP guide. Readable, usable, and easy to understand, it is the best GAAP guide that I have ever purchased. It includes the most recent developments and analysis of all generally accepted accounting principals set forth in the pronouncements by the FASB, AICPA, and EITF. The analysis is what makes this guide so great and so practical. In clear and concise language, it explains and offers guidance on all of the pronouncements. Plus, it contains the more real world examples and more illustrations than any other GAAP guide.

Sorry for language mistakes, but I`m not from anglo-zone. I think this book is very helpful for accountants who has to prepare statements basis on GAAP. In Poland there are some companies from USA which must prepare suitable reports and we have not so many accountants who can do this. This book let as to learn more about modern accounting.
