I thought that for some reason you need to buy the book.

I'm going to start studying for the FAR portion pretty soon and was going to acquire the Kieso Intermediate Accounting book as well as the Government/NFP book that VT uses.
My questions about Kieso:
1. Is it a good side reference to have/does it relate pretty well to the material on FAR? (Probably on another thread somewhere but don't have time to go through the 29 pages to find the answer)
2. As long as it is used just as a side reference, does anyone see the difference between getting the 12th edition with FASB update (Dec. 10, 2007) and the 13th edition (Mar. 23, 2009). Reason is the cost for used respectively would be about $10 vs $115 on Amazon. Thanks!

I used this text to supplement Becker FAR textbook. I had the 12th edition and I also got the new edition from my school library. Honestly, not much has changed, I mean there are changes but most of them you get through your review material updates. If you did ok in college in your accounting classes you will be fine with older edition. I used 2009 Becker for FAR and got all the updates. I am also using 2007 flashcard and add the changes to them. SO far I'd say 90% of the flashcards are the same. Major changes are in consolidations and some other small areas. It is your call in the end. In my case it was cost benefit analysis :)

Hi Tajik,
I'm currently using Becker's 2009 lecture notes and have gone through the consolidation section. Do you know where I can download the updates? Thanks in advance for your help.

CPA exam reviews cover everything you need to pass and they are focused in the CPA exam structure so IMO dont need use Kieso book.
