Reader Reviews
This review is from: Accounting for Dummies (Paperback)
This is the book. This book got me, a non-quantitative anti-numbers person, through MBA financial accounting. Particularly good are chapters 5-9, that help interpret and explain financial statements. By no means does this offer everything you need to know for accounting, but offers a great foundation (hence, Dummies). I have also used it in my personal life to review info on my stocks.
