Okay, but not up to date...

In a field as "ever-changing" as retirement plan management and pension administration, it takes a special set of resources to keep up with these changes. Dearborn is excellent, simply top notch with their securities and insurance publications; but with defined contribution and pension plans, unfortunately, their data is lacking, too basic, and out of date. Emphasis should be placed on compliance testing as well as the reform bills passed through congress affecting pension plans. I just don't feel this is covered here.

If you want the creme de la creme of pension books, get Aspen Publishing's pension answer book series.

Much Better Than Previous Version

Pension books are like Y2k Survival Guides. Once the year in question is over, what good is the book? That's what you run into with Pension books nowadays, material that has to be updated on a yearly basis or it's woefully out of date.

As I mentioned in a previous review of the 1996/97 version of this book, it was lacking in the compliance and regulatory sections. These sections are KEY to understanding pension plans.

As a former student of Dearborn's security texts, I can tell you they are THE source for any of the securities exams - absolute top notch. But when it comes to pensions, they need to incorporate more detail and focus separately on defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

Loaded With Information

Depending on your knowledge level in this subject area, these guides are loaded with lots of relevant information but it can be a bit intimidating at first. However, good study aid for the more senior knowledge level person.

A good source of CPA review information

The book is most helpful in the preparation for the CPA Exams. The sequencing of topics make it easy for students/reviewers to internalize principles and learn gradually as well. The answers with explanation at the end of every module provides relevant information for readers. At some point, CPA reviewers tend to appreciate more the explanation in every module than the answer itself.

The book is highly commendable. I recommend the 4 volume Wiley CPA Examination Review for future CPAs. It has worked for me and it can work for you as well.

The best book on cpa

after reading this book my search for excellence ends.

Disadvantages of Self-Study

Wiley's books are useful, but not suitable for a complete review. I found them to contain more information than was necessary. They did, however, contain a multitude of old CPA Examination questions. This was useful, but I feel that these books need to be used in conjunction with a reputable CPA Review Course. Test taking skills are not discussed in depth, as well as the confidence instilled by a review course.
