Over the last three years, we have been using "The Seven Keys..." as the bible to follow in our implementation process.Every person involved is required to read the book.It has become our organization's often-quoted bible for account management.A must read!

The Guide for Strategic Account Mangement
This is a very educational book that every company should read and buy into before attempting a SAM program. I enjoyed the real world exmaples even though they did sometimes leave me feeling a bit 'sold to'(and I usually like that!)

This a teacher and student choice!
Best book so far for teahing accounting.This is the book for learning accounting.

This book was the salvation of my accounting class...
My accounting professor was awful and it was this book that saved my grade in the class.It provides very detailed explanations and summaries of each concept it covers throughout the chapter, not just at the end of the section.The accompanying working papers and study guide were also very informative and helpful. ...

An excellent book for practioner and truely advanced learner
MBA students alike may not even have the patient to read through it. But, as a management consultant in China ( i used to work for 2 of big 4 accounting firms, and now working as a freelance to help local companies to solve their managerial costing problems), this book is my primary reference for my work. I applied ideas in this book helping my clients building ABC and transfer pricing and costing control models. When you really need to solve true business problems (rather than reading in the school), you will find this is "the" book. In my view, you have to read Kaplan and Cooper's staff if you want to get some true knowledge about managerial accounting.

This book is not what I expected....
I have studied,practiced and taught managerial accounting for more than 17 years at work, using excellent supporting text and case books from recognized US authors. But to be honest Dr. Kaplan is making easy concepts to appear complicated and cumbersome. His case readings as well as the text materials are very length and hard to "digest" since it does not capture the attention of the reader.I would not recommend the book neither for and undergraduate or graduate degree, despite the well known and worldwide recognition of Dr. Kaplan. His book is far from being pedagogical in nature.

An Advanced Accounting Student Opinion
I have studied many aspects of financial and management accounting, management issues, etc. from introductory to advanced levels. I have never used such an unappealing book. The student must sift through much wordiness. There are few, and sometimes no examples of the various calculations. There is very little use of white space. Virtually no colour, no use of bullets. Not only is the material presented in a "dry" form, but the book is not pretty to look at. The most praise I can give this book is that it is not too heavy to carry, and it has a pretty blue cover. ... Read more

Bad editor + basic material = poor investment
I thought this was going to be a penetrating, incisive look at financial statement chicanery -- instead I got a recap of things I already learned in HOWARD SCHLIT's (better edited, clearer) book.
Financial Numbers Game
The book is fine for those not informed on the topic of financial reports, but those that have some insight on that topic would find it boring and not as informative as expected.
service was great

illuminating insights
An entertaining, insightful book - I found it useful in describing how benchmarking can be used to good effect in practise - in real situations - from someone who has definitely been there and done it. Our organization can certainly use the advice here - big time - and save ourselves a bunch of consultancy fees into the bargain!

Practical & easy to read
Axson's book offers a practical and easy to read review of best practices in one of the most maligned areas of management.Combining useful benchmark data and implementation guidance this book provides a useful companion for anyone attempting to navigate through a tough change process

Rehash...
This is another consultant's attempt at what I learned in my business practice.The book does not rise above the obvious, but is, for the most part, a survey of ideas.The best practices discussed have little depth or meat to them.If you are an executive with planning experience or have read other books on the subject, the read adds very little. ...

Good, clear read
A good primer, clearly defined concepts and a writing style that cuts thru the jargon right to the point. Others have expounded the overall virtues of the book, I'll only echo the earlier review praising Chapter 2's definitions. Executive guide is right.
There is not enough detail here to make this book worth the money. Don't waist your time, there are many other books here that will fill in the details, this is not one of them.

Make Business Sense of Your Web Initiatives
Web-based initiatives can be as simple or complex as looking at the night sky. The technology choices from programming languages to servers to networks to security can be overwhelming. Add to the mix the types of Internet-based business systems desired and demanded by customers along with the ability to implement them and you can find a state of confusion and uncertainty.Read more

A highly practice-oriented guide to AP world
A useful handbook for accounts payable professionals. A wide-visioned summary & comparison from accounts payable operations of many companies of various types. Describe things in very details. It will be better if the best practices are more focused to be articulated. Overall, this book would enable someone in this area to achieve a more systematic perception into accounts payable.

Sarbanes-Oxley and the New Internal Auditing Rules
This book provides a comprehensive overall view on Sarbanes Oxley and other evolving internal audit standards and practices. Moeller has taken an extended view on the roles of internal auditor to include that of quality auditors for ASQ and ISO.
Disappointing!
Despite Mr. Moeller's "brand-name appeal", I must confess I found this book disappointing. The title promises too much perhaps; how can mere 300 pages cover the matter for a practitioner? Written in an informal style, it paints on a broad canvas -- the kind of material that would do well for an after dinner-talk for auditors, but most definitely lacks depth and specificity. It could be useful for students or business managers, but is unlikely to help a professional auditor much.
Comprehensive and clear
This book is essential reading for anyone involved in internal audits per Sarbanes-Oxley, including auditing professionals and senior management whose business or technical domains are affected (i.e., all senior managers). Read more

Invaluable Resource for Internal Audit Administrators
A very well organized and highly useful publication for audit executives responsible for administrtion of internal audit departments.It is especially beneficial and relevant to organziations with newly established internal audit functions.As the chief auditor of a newly formed group at a major footwear and apparel company, I have relied on this book almost daily to provide knowledge, guidance and direction. It has, and continues to be, invaluable in the development and growth of my organization's internal audit department and has facilitated my focusing on doing things right the "first time."A truly value-added publication!!

A Must Have . . .
This publication is perhaps the most useful, well organized and valuable resource I have ever come across in the area of Internal Audit Department Administration.As the Director of Internal Audit of a newly formed Audit group at a major footwear and apparel company, not a day passes where I do not refer to this book for knowledge and guidance.It has provided me invaluable insight into administering a department and on focusing on doing things right "the first time."It is a must have resource for any department, new or old, that wants to build itself into a world-class function.I recommend this to every Internal Audit organization. ...

where is a solution manual
anyone know where to buy a solution manual for this?

Poorly organized and insufficient.
This book is poorly organized. It lacks sufficient examples for many of the problems and exercises - what little is available is not sufficiently labeled to be fully understood. The Managerial Accounting Study Guide that can be purchased separately offers very little help. Furthermore, no answers are available in the book or the study guide, so unless you purchase the Solutions Manual (yes, you have to spend more and more to make sense of this mess), you will be lost. As a college student with a 3.9 GPA, I can say with confidence, this book is terrible.

This book is very good for teaching you managerial accounting.I used this book in college and found it to actually be of use, unlike a lot of college textbooks.You could read the chapter and be able to do theexercises at the end of the chapter.Read more
