(Part 2) Best accounting books according to redditors

I think it really goes back to the Bush tax cuts. Here's a May 2001 column:

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/27/opinion/reckonings-the-big-lie.html

> So how did the conferees manage to preserve almost the whole Bush tax cut despite a budget resolution that should have forced a substantially smaller cut? They lied.

> Now in a way this is nothing new. Throughout the selling of this tax cut, its advocates have engaged in a disinformation campaign unprecedented in the history of U.S. economic policy -- misrepresenting who would benefit from the plan (pretending that a tax cut mainly for the rich is actually aimed at the middle class) and understating its effects on revenue. Indeed, the pretense that taxes can be sharply cut without undermining the fiscal integrity of the nation has been maintained via financial fakery that, if practiced by the executives of any publicly traded company, would have landed them in jail.

> Still, the fraud perpetrated late Friday night takes fiscal chicanery to a completely new level.

He even wrote a book.

We need to be the heroes and start a revolution. Don't wait for someone else to do it.

The system needs to go. People need to stop funding the idiots who keep everything as it is. Modern day tea party, stop paying your taxes, mortgages, school loans, and credit debt. They were all used to enslave you from the start. Once you're broke you must completely rely on the system to feed, clothe, and shelter you. Look at many celebrities, they are in debt up to their eyeballs and don't pay it back. They don't use your money wisely and continuously contribute to debt. They loose billions of dollars, and don't care about the middle class. Let the fiat system collapse. You pay taxes to the elite because you're serfs. When will you decide not to be?

This is probably more than what you are looking for, but I’ll go ahead and pass on what I have been using. I was already thinking about putting together a less expensive, non-Becker CPA exam strategy for r/accounting once I pass all the exams; so this will be a good warm up.
I haven’t taken all of the exams yet (I have passed the ones I have taken), but I can tell you the resources that have seemed to help the most far. I am pretty cheap, so I have tried to obtain my materials as inexpensively as possible (which is odd because my employer is paying for everything upfront).

For all of the exams I have purchased the Wiley CPA exam prep books; If you are lucky you might be able to find them at your local library.

I also use the Gleim multiple choice questions, and simulations. Gleim questions are in my experience more challenging than the real test questions, which make the actual exams seem not so bad (which is a great confidence booster). I try to answer 1500-2000 MC questions in the last couple of weeks leading up to the exam. I went through the Gleim regulation simulation questions once before the exam, and they really helped me a lot.

For BEC I pretty much relied on tons of Gleim MC questions, and the Wiley materials. I also used my managerial accounting textbook for reviewing cost accounting.

Additional materials I used for REG were my undergrad Business Law textbook, and the Federal Taxation book I mentioned in my last post.

For FAR (the test I am preparing for now), it had been so long since I took any financial accounting courses, I felt I needed a more fundamental review. I have been working through Schaums Outline of Intermediate Accounting I, Second Edition and Schaums Outline of Intermediate Accounting II, Second Edition. I have also been reading Governmental Accounting Made Easy, which has been helping with governmental accounting concepts (I never covered this in school). I am hoping that Wiley and Gleim materials will be sufficient for IFRS.

I’ll have to get back to you on AUD in a few months, but I am assuming that it will probably be a Gleim, Wiley, and old text book combo.

I hope that this helps. It has worked pretty well for me, but everybody learns a little different. Good luck!

I finished C248 on 2/18/18. I scored a 92% on the final. I am very happy with my approach to this course. I worked extremely hard on it over the past month. I put in 30-40 hours each week - a total of 140 hours, roughly.

Approach

• Read the book! I read all the assignments. I recommend getting a hard copy of the book for this class.
  
  
• Take comprehensive notes, or use my notes, which are 106 pages long. Bonus information included in my notes: Critical learning objectives are highlighted, IFRS/GAAP differences & similarities are shown.
  
  
• Participate in the cohorts or watch recorded ones. I enjoyed being able to interact with the instructor during the live sessions, although they moved a bit slowly for my tastes.
  
  
• Watch the Farhat Videos, which are linked in my notes. I found these moved a little quicker than the cohorts and were good to listen to a second time, in the car while commuting.
  
  
• Do all the Wiley practice quizzes.
  
  
• Do Orion practice for each section. I aimed for 75-85% correct and kept working until I was scoring in that range.
  
  
• I did three comprehensive note reviews - two before the PA, then a third one immediately before the OA.
  
  
• I don't recall any PA questions being repeated on the OA, but some concepts were the same. Review your PA results and be sure you understand related subjects.
  
  
• Many people have recommended the Schaum's Outlines for this course. It provides a condensed look at the material. I bought this but didn't use it as much because I didn't get it until partway through. I will use the Schaum's Outlines for IA2.

  Make sure you look through the table of contents before purchasing...it might not be what you need.

In the 90s, shifty financial numbers games mean that the U.S. Government, AOL, and Enron could have budget surpluses and reported (artificial) positive cash flow.

We've made some changes to GAAP since, but unless you're reading every financial statement possible with scrutiny, you're probably missing something.
[read up](http://www.amazon.com/Financial-Numbers-Game-Detecting-Accounting/dp/0471370088 "This class and book were really interesting at Georgia Tech")

If you're not looking specifically for an academic book (e.g. Wiley Intro to Financial, etc.), this one should give you a good understand of the principles and basis for the field:

http://www.amazon.com/Accounting-Demystified-Jeffry-R-Haber/dp/0814407900/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1331929510&sr=8-11

301 and 311 use the same book, or at least did when I took them a couple semesters ago...

I personally didn't like the Note Pirate or Tony Bell videos. They were just not clicking with me. I found the Managerial Accounting for Dummies book a great resource (you can find it free if you dig a little) and I also have had great luck with the Schaum's Outline books and they have one for Managerial Accounting.

If you DO like videos, I highly recommend Farhat's accounting videos. He helped me tremendously (first videos to ever do that!) in Intermediate Accounting. He has some playlists for managerial accounting (not the CCP ones) as well. I recommend checking those out.

What areas did you score lowest in your coaching report?

I found that the OA was harder than the PA. For example, in all my pre-assessments, I was scoring 100% on CVP but on the OA, I scored a meager 37.50% which means this was much more challenging on the OA than the PA. The questions were far more complex and involved.

Really know the segments dealing with overheard and how to calculate it based on various factors.

I also highly recommend the videos from the CMs that cover select chapters (1-5, 7, 8, 10, 11) as they cover the majority of the exam and all the major concepts.

The LearnSmart modules are really good at representing the spectrum of questions. I think the assessment actually matches LearnSmart modules better than the pre-assessment.

Let me know if you have other questions. I had no issues with this class and did enjoy it though Cost and Managerial Accounting was a different story! :)

You'd think it's simplistic, right? Seems almost too good to be true. But Krugman has been saying this for decades, and even wrote a book about it before the Bush tax cuts in the 2000s, predicting essentially exactly what would happen: http://www.amazon.com/Fuzzy-Math-Essential-Guide-Bush/dp/0393339467

He's been spot-on for a long time now.

I recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/South-Western-Federal-Taxation-2017-Comprehensive-ebook/dp/B01F7EHGTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492380484&sr=8-1&keywords=South-Western+Federal+Taxation+2017

Trial and error, baby!

http://www.amazon.com/Internal-Controls-Policies-Procedures-Hightower/dp/0470287179/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415466141&sr=8-1&keywords=internal+controls

You'll definitely want to learn some basis in accounting theory. If you have a working knowledge of the framework, you will be able to apply those basics to somewhat more complex situations with guidance from the codification.

Also, get learned on internal controls. As the controller you're going to be more-or-less responsible for ensuring that there are policies and procedures in place to mitigate the risk of fraud. If it happens, it will be your head. Don't let that shit happen!

Other than that, my only worry would be if you have to report to any creditors, etc. They may be weary of you having little accounting knowledge outside of quickbooks on-the-job training. Have a good CPA in your back pocket.

Do all accountants have as great a personality as yourself?

I'm asking for like 3 mini paragraphs that explains what forms of accounting are used for those career paths. Not a lecture on how I have to "work harder". What's the point of having r/accounting if people from other fields can't ask simple questions?

These are the list of books that just arrived from amazon.com. I should have them read in 2-3 weeks:

Are there any canonical texts that I'm missing? Mind you, I have a scarce amount of free time due to upcoming internship and my reading list for corporate finance/valuation. So like don't be a dick and tell me I have to read a 1500 pg encyclopedia.
