Kalpesh Ashar knows what he's talking about. He has an MBA from one of Asia's top business schools and an engineering degree with honours in electronics. He knows the theory and the practice and he's capable of writing in terms which the layman can understand. Occasionally the lack of definite and indefinite articles suggest that he's not a native English speaker, but that's not an insurmountable problem. One problem which did give me cause for concern was that I found a couple of typos in examples. The correct answer was fairly obvious but it did mean that I spent an inordinate amount of time checking other examples to ensure they were correct before I moved on.
The book has been written primarily for the American market. Examples are in dollars and make reference the American tax system and if you're looking to buy this book in the USA then it's worth the full 4 stars. In the United Kingdom , you could probably deduct a half to one star, although there is an explanation of a balance sheet which is probably the clearest I've encountered.
I've had half a century of dealing with accounts and the people responsible for them and regularly been surprised at the number of people who present accounts to government authorities or banks whilst freely admitting that that they didn't understand what they meant. ''The accountant seems to know what he's doing'', they say, but it's not good enough. With a book like this , it doesn't take long to get a basic understanding.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
If you need to understand more about what your accounts show we can recommend [[Cost Accounting & Management Essentials You Always Wanted To Know by Vibrant Publishers]]. If you're undertaking a big project we think that you'll appreciate [[Beginner's Project Management Handbook: Art of Project Delivery by Dr Sunil C Gebalanage]].
