Product Description Financial Reporting And Analysis (FRAndA) by Revsine/Collins/Johnson/Mittelstaedt emphasizes both the process of financial reporting and the analysis of financial statements. This book employs a true "user" perspective by discussing the contracting and decision implications of accounting and this helps readers understand why accounting choices matter and to whom. Revsine, Collins, Johnson, and Mittelstaedt train their readers to be good financial detectives, able to read, use, and interpret the statements and-most importantly understand how and why managers can utilize the flexibility in GAAP to manipulate the numbers for their own purposes.

Financial Reporting & AnalysisSeptember 23, 2008 Book Arrived on time and in the condition that was presented. Very satisified with the product.
Shipping ripoff/ unfounded claimsApril 28, 2008 I ordered expidited shipping for my product to get it sooner than the regular shipping. They happily charged me for expidited shipping, then turned around and sent the book via media mail. Also, the item diescription for my book said it was highlighted by a student that got a B+ in the course. I have yet to find any hightlighted areas in the book. When I contacted the seller via email to inquire, they cam back at me angry claiming that I was trying to threaten them. This was a poor experience at best. I will never shop with this Seller agian.
Financial Reporting book reviewApril 9, 2008 Recent Accounting knowledge is a plus when reading this book. A few examples of problem solving would be nice. An answer key to the exercises in each chapter would be helpful too.
You will want a fresh mind & coffee when reading this book!
Almost everything I dislike in a textbookMay 7, 2006 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book has many characteristics that I really dislike to see in a textbook.
First, the authors flooded almost every page with extraneous information. When you're learning this stuff, you want it to be explained simply and clearly - but the authors seem more intent on showing you how much they know about some topic, even when that information is tangenital and not very helpful.
They don't word things clearly. They'll call the same thing by two different names - (i.e. "Pension Cost" and "Pension Expense") which needlessly adds to the confusion. They'll discuss some topic for several pages without even writing down the basic, relevant journal entry.
One of the wordiest, most poorly written accounting books I have ever had the displeasure of studying from.
