The book touches upon all the concepts required in cost accounting without getting into a lot of details. It introduces the readers to a lot of terminologies when it comes to cost classifications and behaviors.

This book covers adequate topics that are included in the PG curriculum in recent years. The theoretical coverage and language of the book is lucid and student-friendly.

I enjoyed reading Financial Accounting Essentials and I feel that for an overview of the subject matter, this book was well-written. I liked how the book walked the readers through the concepts of accounting.
-- Dr Cheryl A Moore , Mercyhurst University, Assistant Professor of Accounting
If you've ever looked at a set of accounts and wondered what you were looking at, this is the book for you. The concepts are explained in clear language and even after half a century of involvement with accounts and accounting principles I still had a few lightbulb moments. Recommended.

1. Content is more of a refresher book rather than essential
2. lack of practical orientation
3.no cases to justify the topic
4. modern accounting terminology is missing

As an accountant, I find it interesting to read books that are geared towards non-accountants. This book was right on the money in terms of explaining various topics related to accounting. It has an easy-to-read format so that you can skim through to get to a specific topic as needed. I highly recommend this book to any non-accountant business person as it will save you time and confusion in the long run.

Of course, the content of this book is basic and condensed. But that is already in the title: 'essentials'.
For students and freshmen, it is a exercise book. For seasoned managers it is a book, to have at hand-reach. Of course we know it all, but we tend to forget... At such moments, a book as this one is more than helpfull.

Straightforward answers to questions like:
- When analyzing Financial Statement, how to conduct Ratio Analysis und Common Sizing?
- Ho to estimate Cash Flows and calculate their Net Present Values?
- What are the levers that can optimize Working Capital?
- What is the optimal Capital Structure?
Only the numerous graphically displayed balances are presented unhelpfully in the Kindle version. In print, however, the book is definitely recommended!
