Foundations of Managerial AccountingI wrote this text at the prompting of some participants in a Fall 2021 exec MBA class. Juggling even busier schedules during the Covid year, they did not have the time or inclination to read a standard accounting textbook the usually weighty and expensive tome with hundreds of pages of text, distracting pictures, and one that did not align well with the sequence in which I present the subject of managerial accounting.

I wrote this text at the prompting of some participants in a Fall 2021 exec - MBA class. Juggling even busier schedules during the Covid year, they did not have the time or inclination to read a standard accounting textbook Ñ the usually weighty and expensive tome with hundreds of pages of text, distracting pictures, and one that did not align well with the sequence in which I present the subject of managerial accounting.

Accordingly, this text errs on the side of minimalism. I present the reasons for studying managerial accounting in chapter 1, discuss basic cost terms and concepts in Chapter 2, and, over the remaining four chapters, lay out the fundamental techniques of cost accounting that help managers make decisions.

Brevity is not only the soul of wit but also a road to understanding. The essence of something is best revealed when the ornamentation surrounding it is removed. However, the absence of repetitious texts, reinforcing pictures, interesting examples from the business world, and problems worked out step by step demand more significant effort from the reader. Do not confuse simple and clear exposition for simplistic explanations. If you read this comparatively short text carefully and follow my lead in doing all the problems listed at the end of each chapter, you will have all you need to know for a solid foundation in managerial accounting.

This text has been improved by the comments and corrections suggested by multiple groups of undergraduate and graduate students. Carlton Jarmon deserves special mention for reviewing this text, wearing the hat of both student and teaching assistant. Teaching is a collaborative venture, and future iterations of this book depend on your efforts to improve it.

I should have looked somewhere else.
Format: Paperback
Not very helpful. I wanted a book that would help guide me through setting up a web server. There should have been a more complete step by step guide comparing traditional methods with newer updated methods.

Organized well. You can read it section by section. Fantastic information. Clearly presented.
I like this book better than "what to expect" because this one does a better job of what you'll ACTUALLY expect versus telling you the throngs of horrible things that could happen to you or your baby. I'd rather be informed than mentally prodded with scary information. On one hand, it's good to know what could happen, so the other books you've probably already ordered are good to skim through, but this book I recommend reading all the way through. Easy to read, you'll actually have TIME to read it because you can read the age your baby is instead of a book that's all mixed up and organized by diseases and threats. Clear photos and explanations and tips on how to make your life and baby's life easier and better. I've understood my baby's needs better because of this book. I feel really glad I got it because it was the only book that really helped my daily life with my newborn.

we loved this well-illustrated book
As first-time parents, we loved this well-illustrated book, recommended it to one couple, and recently ordered another for an expecting couple in our family. Rather than grouping content by topic, the book is ordered chronologically, starting with Day 1 and progressing throughout the first year. Don't expect to read straight through; there are lots of pictures, sidebars, notes, etc. This makes it easier to find and retain relevant information (as opposed to reading a 100-page section on "Diet and Nutrition"). Provides a thorough treatment of most of the common issues, fun discoveries and concerns you encounter as a new parent.
