SURVEY OF ACCOUNTING 3e, is designed for a one-term introductory accounting course. It provides an overview of the basic topics in financial and managerial accounting, without the extraneous accounting principles topics that must be skipped or otherwise modified to fit into a one-term course. Written for students who have no prior knowledge of accounting, the text emphasizes how accounting reports are used by managers, investors, and other business stakeholders.

Review:

This book was a required text for my graduate level Managerial Accounting class. This textbook was and is by far the most helpful I have ever used. It has understandable text which uses easily understandable examples. However, the most helpful were the tables and graphics which easily break down the content of the chapter into a visual way. Finally, it was extremely helpful that all tables or graphs referred in the text appear on the same page as the reference. If you have been frustrated by flipping pages back and forth between the graph and its explanation, you understand how valuable a book like this can be!

“It’s really a very good book!”
-R.D., Full-Charge Bookkeeper

“It’s good…, right-on and good.”
-G.H., CPA and Controller

This premier “how to” book on bookkeeping:
-Starts with the Job Interview (questions to ask).

-Covers all Topics (like Debits & Credits, Insurance, Industry specifics…).

Beginners – fear not! You’ll notice the author wrote this book with you in mind. In fact, he wrote it with a high school graduate in mind – who knows absolutely nothing about bookkeeping. That’s why he defined all new (bookkeeping) terminology, right at the spot it’s used in the chapter, as well as in a complete 20-page glossary.

It’s very well put together. I can’t say enough.”
-R.N., Preschool Director

What is a full-charge bookkeeper?
A full-charge bookkeeper performs all of the bookkeeping tasks of any small business, including payroll taxes and monthly financial statements, with little or no supervision. About the only thing ‘outsourced’ is the corporate taxes – typically to a CPA.

Informative, but 1/2 of content is charts and documents that do not format properly. I should have purchased the paper version( and probably will)

This book covers the many reasons why time tracking, preferably through a Software-as-a-Service platform, is a must for companies of all sizes. It discusses the benefits available through effective key performance indicators and project management, payroll and billing practices, and federal regulation compliance, as well as guides the reader through the buying process. It also discusses numerous pertinent technological advances such as SOA, Telecom and the Internet, and Web2.0.

Review:

As someone who helped Curt edit his book, I have had countless opportunities to pore over the material. I learned so much from reading his arguments and hearing his stories in person.

“All Your Money Won’t Another Minute Buy: Valuing Time as a Business Resource” gives an in-depth look at how tracking your time can make you more profitable. Simply put, keeping track of how time is spent allows you to better manage projects, make strategic business decisions, pay your employees, bill your customers and meet important federal regulations. There isn’t a company out there that couldn’t implement this simple method in order to increase profitability.

Review:

Jerry really knows how to help people learn accounting. Learning accounting is about practising but not reading. Reading helps but it won’t solve problems. The one thing I really appreciate about this book is Jerry uses real life accounting practice within companies from different industries to illustrate every single chapter, within which all the accounting theories and principals naturally flow. You can see all the kinds of accounting problems with actual number and data being solved with the application of relevant accounting theories,principals and methods. You know how real things are done. I have read many accounting books, among which loads of books lack exercises for me to practice after I read certain chapter. But buying Jerry’s book, you get two books, one for reading, and one for exams. Nearly half of the book is Exam Questions, which emulate my real exams quite well. I can’t believe an accounting without good exercise questions is an book. If you seriously want to pass exams and know how the real accounting is done,this is the book for you!

Review:

Activity-based costing was introduced in the 1980s to correct the inaccurate allocation of overhead from standard cost systems, but activity-based costing systems were expensive to build, complex to sustain, and difficult to modify, according to Robert Kaplan and Steven Anderson in this book. According to the authors, Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing is simpler, cheaper and more powerful.

The authors’ costing model assigns resource costs directly to resource objects. Firstly, a capacity cost rate is calculated for each department or process, being the total cost of the resources used by the department or process divided by the time available from the employees conducting the work. Secondly, an estimate is made of the demand for resource capacity that each cost object requires. This makes it very easy to see how much it costs to serve a particular customer, or how much excess capacity there is in a department.

The value to a business in implementing a system of the type advocated by the authors will depend on the extent to which the activities of the business consist of standard processes and the extent of benefits gained from knowing the cost of serving individual customers. The system might be better suited to a manufacturing firm, in which the time taken for each process can be estimated accurately, than to a law firm, where the mysterious activities engaged in by attorneys might defy rational measurement.

In my opinion the main value of the book is in the first few chapters where the principles of the system are explained. The last half of the book contains a number of case studies which are likely to be of interest only to those who have businesses similar to one or more of those described in the case studies.

Education

A person interested in a career as an accountant or bookkeeper, will need to become certified within the United States in order to do so. Those individuals that practice bookkeeping for any type of business must pass a certification exam in order to become a licensed bookkeeper. Most people will need to complete a bookkeeping course of some type in order to pass the examinations to receive their bookkeeping certification.

What Does Bookkeeping Certification Involve?

In order to become a certified bookkeeper in the United States, a person must meet three main requirements. The individual must pass a national examination; sign the AIPB (American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers) code of ethics, and within 3 years of passing the examination show proof of work as a full-time bookkeeper.

The national certification examination is multiple choice and consists of four parts. The first two parts are given by a proctor and cost $200 to complete. The third and the fourth parts of the examination are done in a workbook and resources can be used. There are over 300 testing centers in the United States that offer the bookkeeping certification examination.

The AIPB code of ethics outlines the professional responsibilities of a bookkeeper. Each individual who passes the bookkeeping examination must then sign this code of ethics before becoming a certified bookkeeper.

After completing the examination and signing the code of ethics, an individual may begin work as a bookkeeper. The final part of becoming certified entails providing proof of working full time as a bookkeeper for a minimum of two years after the examination was complete. A person can also work part time and show proof of working at least 3000 hours as a bookkeeper.

Where to Find Bookkeeping Certification Programs

Currently, there are only two major organizations within the United States that offer certification for bookkeeping. They are the American Institute for Bookkeepers and the National Association of Certified Professional Bookkeepers. These two institutions offer different titles upon completion.

The AIPB is the more well known of the two and a person completing the certification examination through this organization will receive the title “Certified Bookkeeper.”

The person who chooses to complete the NACPB examination will receive the title “Certified Professional Bookkeeper.”

A Career as a Bookkeeper

A person choosing bookkeeping as a career will have a number of jobs to choose from. Almost every company in the country needs a bookkeeper of some type in order to help maintain their business and financial documents. Bookkeepers are needed in each area of industry as well as in the government. Some of the largest number of bookkeeping jobs available will be in the health care industry, with the government, in education, and in payroll services.

There are full time and part time jobs available, as well as office jobs and work at home jobs. A bookkeeping job is very flexible and a person choosing this career should find many options available to meet their needs. Currently, the average salary for a bookkeeper is around $32,000.
