"This well-organized accounting resource is easy to understand and follow. Shim (California State Univ., Long Beach) is an authority on the topic and author of numerous publications, e.g., The Financial Troubleshooter (CH, Jan'06, 43-2886), Accounting and Elnance for the Nonfinancial Executive (CH, Jan'01, 38-2821), and Strategic Business Forecasting (CH, Sep'00, 38-0395). Although specifically designed for practitioners, this work can also benefit students because it is authoritative yet comprehensible. Each chapter begins with general information about a key topic, e.g., cost classification, activity-based costing, break-even and cost-volume-profit analysis, budgeting for profit planning and financial modeling, and long-term investment and capital budgeting decisions. Shim then breaks down each topic into subsections that provide detailed information as well as illustrations, formulas, ratios, procedures, charts, tables, and examples that further explain the concepts. Each chapter ends with a summary that highlights its key information. Practitioners will find this desk reference useful to consult when they need an answer to a specific question or a quick review, and students will find it valuable as a good, basic overview of management accounting. Summing Up: Highly recommended
