Good CS
The seller sent the book out the same day.That was great but the postal service dropped the ball.The book was routed to vermont instead of virginia but the seller offered a refund and was very empathetic.

A Handy Reference Book for MBA Level
This textbook is used in our MBA International Finance course (1 semester) and we basically covered about 80% of the materials in the class.The book is well organised and, most importantly, the notations are very clear which helps understanding the materials.Each chapter include a list of references so that students who need to do further research (e.g. for their projects) can start from there.There are also extensive references to the current developments in international finance arena including internet links.We used the Conceptual Questions and Problems at the end of each chapter for revision purpose as well.I do not find much numerical errors as other reviewers mentioned in 2nd edition.Overall I find it very well-written and was useful for my learning experience.

If you don't have to - don't buy it!
Unfortunately I had to buy the book and read all 600 pages of it. It was my textbook for one of my courses at uni. Generally, the content of the book is quite all right, but lots of mistakes (esp. of numerical nature) make the book nearly worthless. If your lecturer wants to use this book as a reference, tell her/him it is even not worth the way to the bookshop. ... Read more

This is a decent book...
I agree with the previous reviewer who mentioned the text was very disorganized.Much of the information provided is very redundant, hence the book could have been much shorter (and less expensive). Best in giving full information and food for thought
I have used the book while working on my Final Thesis. I found it very informative and at the same time it is not overwhelmed with extensive discussions not relating to the main topic. It is clear and logical.

Needs extensive editing and reorganization.
This text suffers from its haphazard organization and lack of clarity in presentation.Textual material could be simplified if presented in tabular form.Text also suffers from lack of precision in references toaccompanying tables. Material and citations tend to be a hodgepodge ofolder and, in some cases, obsolete studies done by other academicians. ... Read more

International Accounting
This book, written as a text for accounting/business students, provides an excellent overview of accounting standards around the world.Rather than providing a detailed listing of accounting standards for each country (best left for reference texts and online, easily updatable sources) the authors focus on the key features of accounting standards, disclosures and harmonization efforts worldwide. Useful but over priced
A useful book that provides a good summary comparing differing Accounting Standards and approaches between countries.However, it is not worth the price.It is supposedly written for later year undergraduate and masters accounting students.It is more suitable for general second year accounting students.Plus, as I am working with a multinational European bank in Japan, the book is, rapidly becoming, out of date.There is none of the simply but incisive commentary which can be found in other books about the differences and outcomes of general accounting principals drawn from different countries. ...

A Natural Integration of Theory and Practice
This book appears to break new ground because it discusses every thoery with actual data and/ or real-world example. In addition, this book explains many things in a conversational tone and thus makes it very easyfor me to understand the material. However, I would like to see moreend-of-chapter problems and questions. Furthermore, I think thatend-of-chapter cases should be a little more complex. Overall, though, the4th edition of Global Corporate Finance is better than most books in thefield. ... Read more

Useful concise book
As admitted in the book there is an overemphasis on American governance systems due to the many high quality research papers available by leading US academics.The strong point of this book is that the research has been condensed into concise short papers easily understood by corporate accountants (like myself).It gives a broad view of Agency Theory and the associated costs and benefits of various governance models and real life examples. As I am working in Japan, my interest was in the comparision of systems between Japan & US (as an Australian I was dissapointed at no analysis of the Australian perspective).However, the rapid change in the Japanese corporate environment in the last 1-2 years makes some of the discussions marginally out of date.A lot of the analysis though is so fundamental it is unlikely its basis will change much in the next 10 years. A good read and very thought provoking.
