Model?
If you are looking for a book that contains model policies and procedures, this book is not for you.When I opened the cover, I fully expected to see full-length sample model policies and procedures.For example, your typical investment policy should be seven or more pages.Mr. McMillan's "model" policy had only a couple of useless paragraphs.I expected more for the $65 cover price. ...

This is the best book that money can buy. I am a Chartered Management Accountant (CIMA) student. I bought number of books of this subject and they didn't help me in any way. Finally after much thoughts I bought this book and I am glad that I did. I was able to clear my professional exams without any tutor support and above all I was placed in the 70%+ category. All thanks are due to the author who wrote such a book that takes care to explain every bit of management accounting. This book is best for the following chapters:

A Good Basic Overview
The title says it all--this is a good basic overview of payroll.You will not become an expert by reading it, but what can you read that makes you an expert?This book will give you the vocabulary and the tools you need to take your first steps in payroll.After that experience is the best teacher.

Valuable Payroll Resource
I think this is a good beginner-to-intermediate level book about payroll.While I doubt this book can serve as your only source to setting up a payroll system (a claim never made by the author), it can serve as a valuable guide to implementing or reviewing your current payroll internal controls, best practices and payroll policy manual.It may also help you analyze whether you are paying too much money or spending too much time on your job costing system.If you like examples, the author uses many short case studies to clarify his main points.Read more

Much Better Than The 9th Edition
I have been a fan of Lawrence J. Gitman's writing style for years.His approach to finance is simple to understand & this is very beneficial for both students & teachers.The 10th Edition of "Principles of Managerial Finance" (Hardcover) has the following improvements: Great Finance Book But Could Still Be Improved
This book, "Principles of Managerial Finance" (9th Edition), is an excellent finance book.It explains financial concepts in an easy-to-understand manner.Gitman gives you a step-by-step guide to understanding finance.Gone are the days when one dreads reading a finance book because of complexity.You'll actually look forward to reading this book.However, there are some items that need to be added/fully explained in the book itself (like how to interpolate, finding the number of periods in the time value of money, calculating free cash flows in valuation, etc.) & there are things that need to be clarified in the cost of capital & capital budgeting techniques sections.Nevertheless, it is still a great book well worth buying.

College Text
Having struggled through many finance courses this text truely brought the area of finance into a much clearer perspective for me.It provides a lot of general knowledge about the field and as a stand alone text is veryuseful.However, the assignments that accompanied the text definitleylacked substance and did not prove to be worthwhile. ...

The Best Textbook I Ever Read!
I purchased the book as part of my CPA Continuing Education credit program. I was pleasantly surprised. Relevant information with sufficient explanations in clear and concise language. A definite must read and must keep as reference material for any controller or financial analyst.

Too simple for the real world
This book does not provide any information that could not be found in a college level textbook. The assumptions and examples provided in the book are over simplified. If you are anything higher than a junior accountant I would suggest you purchase something else. Calling this book a "Controller's Guide" is just plain wrong.

A MUST HAVE...PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE; INSIGHTFUL!
After over 10 years in the field serving as a Controller, Business Manager, and Consultant, finally a practitioner's book that hits the target.Given the vast topic, Bragg nails the critical issues...gets you in & out of each topic quickly and provides an array of useful tools for analysis, presentation, and discussion.The KISS principle at work!Other books may cover more detail, present more elaborate formulas and in general overwhelm the reader.Bragg doesn't.You'll find his summaries quite helpful:Commonly Used Ratios; Symptoms & Solutions; and Exhibit 6.11 Recommended Analyses by Type of Acquisition, for example.Full of practical, hands-on topic reviews, examples, and analytical thinking.Numerous Exhibits showing practical layouts for presenting information...have saved me time & eliminated the need to reinvent the wheel.A must have for my reference tools...and could have eliminated several books in my MBA.Do what's in this book & do it well and you'll build a solid reputation for you and your team.I liked this book so much that I added Bragg's books "Sales & Operations For Your Small Business" and "Accounting & Finance For Your Small Business" to my tools, too...and have been equally pleased. ...

Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Controls:Creating a Culture of Compliance
In this book, the author explains fraud in terms that are clear and understandable to the reader.He is able to provide in very simple terms how fraud schemes work and how damaging fraud can be.The book is serious, yet at times humorous.It is well worth the money, not just for CEOs, but for the American public. ...

Answers questions lingering fromThroughput Accounting
Exhaustive in its coverage, this book answers many questions I had after reading the works of Corbett, Smith & Noreen, Srikanth & Robertson, and Goldratt.It includes an analysis of project management, sales, people, and strategy (in addition to standard DBR) as it relates to traditional Throughput Accounting and the newer Constraints Accounting.

Convincing the skeptics
Professor Thomas G. Field, Jr., Franklin Pierce Law Center Very Good
The authors provide an excellent framework for companies to manage their intellectual property - without using too much consultant speak. Comprehensive
Julie Davis and Suzanne Harrison's book, Edison in the Boardroom, takes readers deep enough into the field of intellectual property management for them to incorporate presented theories into their respective professional disciplines - researcher, attorney, licensing exec, etc. - without the book becoming unwieldy.Excellent balance.This book can become a cornerstone text for any professional involved with intellectual property to direct his or her focus for additional study and to ensure his or her working knowledge of the challenges confronting professionals in other disciplines that together form a corporate intellectual property management program. ...
