Financial Accounting Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Please note: Item is Standalone Book. The financial accounting course is taken by all business majors, usually in their sophomore year. Financial accounting reports summarize the financial health, operating results, and changes in financial status for a business as viewed over a specific period of time. This information is used by outside parties such as stockholders, creditors, prospective investors, regulatory agencies, and the general public. The financial accounting market can be segmented into three categories: preparer (traditional), balanced, and user (innovative). Spiceland/Thomas/Herrmann falls into the balanced segment by offering a balance between the user and preparer orientation. The decision maker's perspective used throughout the book competes directly with Kimmel's pedagogical approach. Financial Accounting has been revised based on the great success of Financial Accounting 2e, Spiceland, Thomas, Herrmann. The content was developed with feedback from over 480 reviewers and focus group participants from across the country. The authors, David Spiceland, Wayne Thomas and Don Herrmann, have developed a unique text based on over 50 collective years of experience in the classroom. They've brought together best practices like highlighting Common Mistakes, offering frequent Let's Review exercises, integrating the course with a running Continuing Problem, demonstrating the relevance of the course to non-majors with a Career Corner, and communicating it all in a student-friendly Conversational Writing Style.

This book, which I bought new and unused, did not come with the registration code required for my class. I had to pay extra for the registration code which I was told would come with the textbook. Very displeased about this.
The book was amazing for my class. I wish it had a little bit more of an index that allowed for quick look up information. And a glossary compiled for all chapters collectively, not just at the end of the module.
Dr. David Spiceland and company do a great job explaining Financial Accounting to first time student of accounting. The books is very self-explanatory and easy to follow. The examples really help explaining tough topics and I really liked the little paragraphs that explain the common mistakes students make because it saves you time and effort by avoiding common errors. One thing I will say is sometimes the text can become a little dry, but if you are actively reading it is not too bad. I really recommend this book for anyone who is beginning accounting. Also, the Connect Plus is nice because it gives you homework to reinforce the material. Also, something great about the Connect Plus is the help button it gives you on homework it brings up an online copy of the book and takes you to the section and page the question relates to.
Don't bother with this. I didn't see any confirmation that the "connect" license was included which is what my whole class is based on. For 131.50 you can buy the license which includes a free eBook on the textbook homepage. This is a better solution then buying the book if all you want is to pass the class and move on.
This was a very good introduction, in my opinion, to financial accounting; I don't feel as if I didn't learn anything, on the contrary, it was very educational. It applies a conversational tone and a great deal of practice problems after each chapter. It was a little on the expensive side for me, but I have to admit I am very pleased with my purchase.
This textbook is a good supplement to a financial accounting class by giving a general overview of financial accounting practices. However the explanations can get boring at times, like most textbooks one reads.Inside you find a good amount of problems to work on. What I do not like about this textbook is that there are no answers provided for the problems at the end of each chapter. The only answers you have are for the Let’s Review sections scattered within a chapter labeled in red. A URL is included in the Let’s Review section for a video on the problem to further guide you in how the problem works. Because of the lack of answers, this textbook might not be for you if you want to self-study the subject.
I had to buy this textbook for my Intro to Accounting course and it was a disappointment.Content is written in a disorganized manner and is difficult to comprehend. The online Connect access is worse. The textbook and Connect seem disconnected and the text doesn't provide the necessary knowledge to complete the online assignments like butter, or at least close enough.There are a lot of missing pieces to the organizational structure of this book. Needs to be re-written. Difficult to learn much of anything.
I can't find the registration code for the online registration? Is it not available on digital format?
