    It is like having someone at your side to give you the necessary info, once you know it, it is hard to separate from this book. I keep it in my desk drawer and whenever I have a chance I look in for something even is i know it but just to make sure I am right. Thank you.

    very comprehensive, but suprised there was no entry for contributing assets to a business. there should of been an example of a contribution of an asset that is currently subject to depreciation, an asset with basis less than FMV and asset with FMV greater than basis. Publisher’s note: Both of these journal entries are, in fact, included in the Encyclopedia. Whether or not the asset is subject to depreciation is irrelevant. Assets acquired by donation (contribution) are valued at fair market value (FMV); depreciation that may have been previously taken by the entity contributing the asset is not relevant. Also, in terms of FMV v. basis the cost basis or tax basis of the entity contributing the asset is irrelevant to how the receiving entity records the transaction. The cost or tax basis of the entity receiving the asset would be the asset’s FMV.

    It’s a great tool — however, it does take some time to get familiar with how to use it effectively.

    Although I work for a non for profit organization, The Encyclopedia provides journal entries for any transaction and gives me the confidence I need because it is based on GAAP.

    So far seems like an exhaustive reference book. The index/ organization is sometimes confusing

    The book is extremely helpful, particularly when someone has been away from bookkeeping for so long. My business is mainly tax preparation, tax planning and consulting.

    Very good book, but it’s not written at the basic level. A certain amount of journal entry knowledge is needed before making sense of this book.

    The encyclopedia of JEs is a good tool. However, for daily day-to-day operations, even out-of-the ordinary situations, the encyclopedia isn’t too friendly. Still, a good reference.
