I've won this book in Librarything review program twice, but I didn't receive it in June, and for the second time I've won it in July and received it about couple of days ago. I've read this book in 2 days, which doesn't mean it's easy to understand or not important, but because I had to share my honest review with the Author as soon as I could.

This book includes not just accounting sections but some usefull tips of how to write The Financial Section of a Business Plan such as: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Balance Sheet, FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS, Methods of Depreciation, ASSETS, LIABILITIES and EQUITY which were really helpful to me because currently I'm writting my business plan.

The Author began with the introduction of ACCOUNTING AS A TOOL OF BUSINESS, and a great explaination of Business Entity Types the way your business will be taxed. (really helpful especially if you haven't register your company yet). He broke down Branches of Accounting to: Bookkeeping, Financial Accounting for External Parties, Managerial Accounting for Internal Parties, Income Tax Accounting as the four most essential and prevalent accounting branches.

You'll also find a chapter of MONITORING STOCKS & INVESTMENTS in this book with some usefull information especailly to know how stocks and investing is connected to all businesses.

The most interesting part of the book for me is chapter 9: Detecting and Preventing Fraud.

I really liked the way that author covered this chapter and explained about how Ethics and fraud prevention are critical aspects of accounting, Accountants and bookkeepers, as well as any business professionals are handling sensitive financial records and they must exercise an exceptional degree of ethical decision-making and scrutiny.
There are a lot of True stories about trainers, bookkeepers, etc, of fraud that affecting companies of all sizes and involving all types of perpetrators. Small-business owners may hold the mistaken impression that their close-knit, family-like work environment makes them immune from fraud.

I give trully 5 star out of 5 because of all those reasons that I mentioned above, and I truley suggest you to order it today specially if you're trying to handle your own or business finances. It is very easy to understand and grasp, you will learn a lot from it.
