I found GAAP Review Series 1 to be very informative and educational. Specifically, Chapter dealing with Cash Flow Statement is very helpful and has a section dealing with Not for profit organizations.

EITF pronouncements could be explained more clearly.

Overall, it is a very good CPE product

Review of GAAP Review Series Part 1 December 31, 2008
Written by: Bette G. (Arkansas)

I purchased this GAAP review as a supplement (for me) to an Intermediate Accounting course I am teaching. It gives a better background and understanding of the background of FASB pronouncements and Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus Positions.

Some college level text books tend to be too dry and complex. This review material enables me to better instruct students. It covers the basics which future CPAs must understand: the financial environment, financial assets, presentation of income statements and interim reporting, and the cash flow statement. If I can add depth to the text book concepts, more students will understand and be able to apply the concepts.
