Review: ELEMENTARY. BORING. NOT CHALLENGING. MISSES SEVERAL IMPORTANT ISSUES.

The authors could do with some refresher courses -- they seem really over the hill!

Summary: Not engaging
Review: Introductory Accounting texts are not rocket science. This text covers similar gound as others, probably in a below-average fashion as it is extremely boring and fails to elicit student interest. There is no new ground or any theoretical breakthroughs. It would have been nice if the text had addressed some issues of current concern to managers and accountants -- such as issues of fraudulent ethics and international accounting. Jan Williams et al. seem to be unaware of current issues bothering accountants, but it is probably too much to expect anything cutting-edge from a book of this type or by these authors.
