Book Description

Institutions from top universities to technical schools are taking advantage of the rich resources and opportunities of the worldwide web to offer online classes, courses, and even degree-granting programs. It has never been easier to complete your education without leaving home. But how can students determine which programs are genuine and which are scams? How can students maximize their learning experiences with the kinds of programs that are right for them, and the kinds of degrees that will take them the farthest after "graduation"? Matthew Helm and April Helm have the answer. Get Your Degree Online is a top-notch directory of the best distance-learning programs available. But the book offers so much more than a directory. Readers will learn about the various delivery methods involved in distance learning, the advantages and disadvantages of this form of education, and how to make sure distance learning is really for them. They will learn how to determine if a program is accredited and why accreditation is important, and how to tell real education opportunities from fly-by-night scams. They will even find out how to get financial aid for their online education. The book covers more than 350 degree programs.

Get Your Degree Online.......2007-05-27

The book lists a compendium of institutions which grant online degrees.
Each school generally has an association with a national or international
consortia responsible for authenticating the degree content of member
institutions.

Examples of online engineering school programs are:
o Rochester Institute of Technology
o Colorado State University
o Arizona State University
o University of Illinois at Chicago

Examples of school programs in computers and information systems are:
o Algonquin College
o City College
o Baker College
o Champlain College
o Regis University
o NYU
o Strayer University

This book would be a good acquisition for anyone interested in attending
an online institution.

Get Your Degree Online.......2005-10-28

The book is not comprehensive. It omits many institutions and majors. Do not recommend.

Needs A New Edition.......2004-11-18

This is a useful book, but a lot of improvement is needed. A table of contents would have been very helpful, or, at least, the list of colleges in the back could have been accompanied by page numbers. That was a pretty silly oversight.

More importantly, I've been researching about thirty business administration programs and only about a third of them are listed in this book. The programs are well-publicized on sites like WWW.ClassesUSA.Com and (I'm fairly certain) all accredited. The problem is that if you want answers to questions without giving the schools your home phone number, you really need a book like this. Since new programs start all the time this book is really way out-of-date even if it's only from 2000. Still it does provide phone numbers that are often hard to find on the schools' websites and the entries often list sample course titles and program requirements. Hopefully, an improved and updated edition is forthcoming.

Good Reference.......2003-05-05

This book helped me alot. It seems to think of every degree possible and let you know which programs are accredited and what to stay away from. Gives you the schools and what they offer. Also help with financial aid.

Disappointing Book.......2002-05-07

Hardly a "top-notch" directory, this book is disappointing in so many ways. It's an obvious attempt to cash in on a popular topic. The information only vaguely represents what is available in distance learning today. Much of the book seems to be a "cut and paste" exercise on the few schools the authors (who obviously were sleeping at their desks during that Research 101 class) want to endorse or feel they have to include for no particular reason. Many important ground breaking schools like Excelsior College and Charter Oak are completely ignored. The authors might also be interested to know about some recent innovations in books like a "table of contents" and an "index." Readers seem to find these helpful. My personal recommendation is Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning by John Bear. It's been continually revised for the last 25 years and is a comprehensive guide to distance education. I expect to see this one in the outside bargain bin for 25 cents real soon!

Book Description

Auditing counts!

With recent incidents at WorldCom, Enron, Xerox, Tyco, and other companies, auditing has never been so important. Auditing is perhaps our single best defense in ensuring the integrity of our financial reporting system.

That's why this new Eighth Edition of Boynton and Johnson's Modern Auditing focuses on decision making and the critical role auditors play in providing assurance about the integrity of the financial reporting system. Known for its clear writing and accessibility, this text provides comprehensive and integrated coverage of current developments in the environment, standards, and methodology of auditing.

Features
* Real-world examples relate issues discussed in the chapter to ethics, audit decision making, and the integrity of the financial reporting system.
* Focus on Audit Decisions sections highlight key factors that influence an auditor's decisions.
* Includes discussion of the role of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standards, and a chapter feature highlights PCAOB standards that differ from Generally Accepted Auditing Standards for private companies.
* Expanded case material related to the integrated audit case (Mt. Hood Furniture) provides a variety of databases that allow students to utilize generalized audit software (IDEA) to accomplish various audit tasks. Multiple databases allow the case to be reused with different data from term to term.
* A flowchart style chapter preview begins each chapter.
* Chapter summaries reinforce important audit decisions included in the chapter.
* End-of-chapter material organized by audit decisions provides a clear link between audit decisions discussed in each chapter and the problem material.

Extensive .......2006-05-07

This book is extensive but confusing. I had to flip back to different chapters to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Vague, wordy, confusing, and in need of examples.......2005-11-10

I found that if you want to learn the language of auditing, have another reference handy. Often, the discourse goes on and on and on and could really be distilled down into a sentence or two that had a firm and grounded presentation. There were very few examples so it was difficult at best to try to understand the often high-level conceptual frameworks that were constantly being presented. I also noted quite a few editing errors that probably arose from cut-and-pastes that were not carefully reviewed. Also, figures and diagrams were reused and were not carefully reviewed either as information was present that didn't apply to the new scenario.

Very Confusing.......2005-07-13

I believe you can find a better auditing textbook in the market. I took an auditing class with one of the authur in Portland and, as a result, was required to buy the textbook. But, I ended up using another auditing textbook in order to get an "A" from this class. The format and writing style are very difficult to follow and understand.

It's OK........1999-05-13

I'm a college student. I am studying auditing to take an AICPA exam. well, auditing is hard for me to study. I think, in order to understand a structure of auditing, reading a book is important. 'Modern Auditing' is helpful to me. A consistent arrangement of context, detailed indexes, lots of figures.... I'd like to recommend 'Modern Auditing'.

Book Description

In starting a cooperative enterprise two things must be considered: first, the kind of business to go into and, second, the method of organization. Any group desiring to engage in a cooperative venture should first of all, through a committee and by consultation with experts, determine what type of enterprise will serve them most effectively. Where competition is unusually keen and profit margins are low, cooperation is less likely to be of service than where the opposite is the case.
