Financial Reporting Standards by David T. Doran Pdf

Accounting is the score keeping system in the “game” of business, and you won’t do well in any “game” if you don’t understand how the score is kept. If you’re a practicing manager, MBA student, or a non-accounting business major, this book will do more than help you stay in the game. Inside, United States financial reporting standards are compared and contrasted with international financial reporting standards, and the authors detail how management’s choice of accounting methods and their required estimates in reporting transactions and events impact financial statements, both immediately and in the future. Unlike typical accounting books, journal entries are not used to illustrate topical coverage. This unique book exclusively provides you with a decision-making perspective by using the accounting equation format to directly illustrate financial statement effects of transactions and events. Most of the topics addressed in this book are typically studied by accounting majors in the two course “intermediate” accounting sequence, but the text also includes discussion of consolidations—a topic generally covered in the “advanced” accounting course. Intermediate accounting textbooks alone typically exceed well over 1,500 pages. By exclusively applying a user’s perspective, and limiting topical content to areas relevant for decision making, this book allows non-accountants to acquire the requisite underlying knowledge in a concise, easy to understand text.

The Flaws in Standard American Bridge by Ken Casey Pdf

This book is designed to highlight the flaws in Standard American bidding, i.e. the SAYC system. The book discusses the major failures of SAYC, namely the failure of the ACBL to adopt the Bergen point-count system, the failure to simplify reverses, the failure to find a 20-21p bid for all hands, and the failure to adopt the Casey-Jacoby Transfer convention and the Casey Rebid convention. In addition, the book points out numerous minor failures such as the failure to find a means of bidding a direct game, the failure of SAYC to require takeout doubles to have a four-card major, and the failure to adopt Minorwood, a six-keycard kickback convention. The book also points out the ACBL’s failure to clarify certain issues, such as the failure to clarify O’s reply to R’s two-level response, the failure to clarify cuebids, and the failure to clarify Stopper-Ask bids. The book provides a solution for all these problems in a new system called Precision Diamond.
