Summary: 4 Chapters on Accounting and The Rest Is All Finance
Comment: I am writing this review from an Accounting perspective, and I agree with the other review that if you want to learn Finance then this book might be for you since, its HEAVILY weighted for Finance with a side order of Accounting. I totally disagree that using this book as your primary source of information will get you an "A". And even if you did get an "A", and brag that you aren't that smart, then that "A" is just a letter on a piece of paper. In the real world you would get burned. This book barely scratches the surface on Accounting, in fact its buried in a small section in the middle of the book with Finacnce before and after it.
Bottom line, if you know someone in your life that is an Accountant and you want to know a FEW of the jargain words, then check this book out at the library. If you need it for school, or to give yourself a clear understanding of the language, this book will give you a major false sense of security, and then you will feel like (as the title says), "The Complete Idiot"

Summary: Where was the Accounting?
Comment: This book seemed to be 98% about Finance with 2% brushing very lightly over double entry accounting with very vague explainations of how a credit increases liability, etc. I was very disappointed in it as I had hoped to get some grounding so I could at least figure out where to post numbers in an accounting program like MYOB. All four or five pages on accounting were inadequate and very confusing. To paraphrase the text, "you can get this, if you work at it." Unfortunately, I found very little to work with.

Summary: Accounting Guide - I fear not !!
Comment: If it's an ACCOUNTING guide you want, then this book is not for you. If it's a FINANCE guide you want, then buy it. I was hoping it would have more strictly accounting advice like how to read a balance sheet, what a profit and loss statement is, what is a liability, etc. It hardy touches accounting, concentrating more on the finance side of starting up & running a business, eg. business plans, cash flows, types of companies, tax, etc. The book however is easy to read & understand but I feel should get rid of the "accounting" term in the title.
