Good on theory, 2008-09-28
This book is excellent literature on cost accounting. It provides a good analysis of each cost accounting system. However, in my mind it is a book for people, who already have an understand of cost accounting. It is very theoretical as it contains only few practical, number-based examples and few full case scenarios. A good reference book.

Horngen's book better, 2001-06-12
I am currently inplementing a project/job accounting system. This book was fine as an overview but of little use otherwise. Horngren's Cost Accounting - A Managerial Emphais was also purchased. Horngren's book was better as an overview and for the theory and details of implemtation.

An Excellent and Practical Guide to Cost Accounting, 2001-03-29
In today's economic environment the role of the cost accountant has become more complex and vital to an organization's success. Cost Accounting: A Comprehensive Guide is a practical resource for the professional. How refreshing to have a cost accounting book that addresses the daily issues encountered in the operations of a company rather than a theoretical approach to the subject. I recommend this book to the entry-level cost accountant through the well-seasoned practitioner. Excellent!

Complete and up to date, 2001-03-28
Comprehensive is the right word. It's been twenty years since I took cost accounting and the fundamentals haven't changed, however, the world has. Bragg's comprehensive guide is up to date and complete. It's a solid addition to our library and has practical ideas for using systems and technology that we need in the real world. Well worth the price.
