The GFOA did an excellent job of explaining governmental accounting. The book has incorporated the new model as established in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34. The book is worth owning just see how a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is prepared and looks under the GASB Statement 34 model.

While GFOA is not the standards setting body, it is important for professionals trying to achieve the Certificate of Excellence in Government Accounting for their CAFR to understand the GFOA's interpretation since they are the body running the awards program.

I would recommend this book for any person charged with managing the financial affairs of a governmental agency.

Grant Hick's Guerrilla Marketing for Financial Advisors, should be considered "required reading" for just about anyone starting or expanding their business.

Grant does an outstanding job of synthesizing the basic beliefs and techniques of Guerrilla Marketing and brings them to life by showing how they apply to a specific occupation.

This an excellently "voiced" book. Grant's text is interrupted at numerous points by comments from Jay Conrad Levinson, the father of Guerrilla Marketing. These "back and forth" comments add an additional level of interest to the book, showing where Grant has advanced the knowledge-base of Guerrilla Marketing.

Whether you're a financial advisor, or the owner of any type of service-oriented business, you'll find Guerrilla Marketing for Financial Advisors to be a valuable and rewarding investment in your future--and your future profitability.

Instead, William Tappan has put together a brilliant book full of analysis techniques, including both market factors and financial analysis. It is truly an outstanding book, as a reader of over 40 real estate investment books, i would rate this as the single best real estate book out there.

While experts wring hands and say "mistakes were made," this book gives average investors the "how to" in order to make sense of annual reports and balance sheets. It seems to blow the lid off of the various methods that managers used to hide bad debt and shaking investments. Undoubtly, good for most investors who want to avoid a repeat of Enron. It also offers a pretty explanation of why major accounting and auditing firms can't be trusted. At last, a book that allows investors to keep their investments and earn money--instead of CEOs and corporate executives. Favorite Chapter: How to Hide Debt with Pension Accounting.
