Financial Accounting I 2006 Edition

A new version of “Financial Accounting I” has already been released by Atty. Conrado T. Valix and Jose Peralta. It incorporates the new standards: Philippine Accounting Standards, Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and International Financial Reporting Standards.

The book has a whole new different look.

It has been 5 years since I last used Valix’s book. It was like a bible during our review for the board exams. Surely, I missed those days when I was yet reading it from cover to cover.

The book can be described as concise but almost complete. Simple but full of information. The context is broad but covers almost every topic.

It seems a must that every reviewee hold a copy of this book during the review. Surely, Atty. Valix found his niche into the accountancy profession.

hello guys, 1st post ko here..haha

as far as i’m concerned, conanan publishing (publishing house of valix’s books) doesn’t issue answer keys to people other than professors. (haha i called them once, napahiya lang tuloy ako)
however, there are mirror problems of Valix’s FinAcc in his PracAcc..you can use it as a guide..

by the way, i’m ben, 3rd year, accountancy student=]
goodluck satin..=D

kudos to Mr. Deuts=]

We are currently using Norma and Guillermo De Leon’s cost accounting book 2007 edition. There are so many typographical errors that have not been corrected in the previous editions. bakit ganun? kaya sa multiple choice, we choose the letter “e” as our answer kasi wala sa pamimilian and sa mga problems dun, may mga maling figures. 🙂

rachelle August 26, 2008 Reply

may guerrero ka na lang sa practical accounting 2. meron ding typographical errors pero mas ok siguro kesa sa book na meron ka.

Hello!.. It’s my first time here in your blog and I just want to ask if what is the best review book for cost accounting?.. i want to study more cost accounting problems for my final exam!

deuts October 13, 2008 Reply

Hi Rachel in as much as I would like to help you, my memory since my school days about that are a blur. We’ll just hope that someone else from this thread can help you. But I guess, any foreign authored book will do ok with cost accounting. I can’t think of any local author that discusses cost accounting in much detail.

hi there..

guys..gn2 yan share q lang.
b4 i was a part of BSBA-mngt. 1st-2nd yr. then my prof. approach me na mag-accounting aq.. cz dring dat tym were taking up subjects na same sa acct. ..from then nakita nya potential ko sa acct..

nung nagshift aq una kabado..pressure then so fortunate q makakuha ng 96% sa financial acct..

tiyaga lang pala un?.. un bang kaa mu magpuyat at mag purchase ng sandamakmak na libro ni valix..third yr. na ko ngaun and i’m thankful dhil d ko akalain ung dating course na kinaaayawan ko at di ko naman inaasahang mag-totop aq eh nagawa ko mg-excell..

tnx valix at ngaun nakakasunod na ko..

ram_1085 November 17, 2008 Reply

hi. in my opinion di nyo naman po kelangang bumili or humingi ng answer key sa financial accounting. sabi nung iba dun kinukuha ng prof nyo yung mga exams. kapag ginawa nyo yun para na rin kayong nagcheat at ang malala pa di kayo matututo kasi di na kayo sisipaging magaral kung may instant sagot na kayo. kung gagamitin nyo naman yung para mapractice nyo yung problems. may nabibiling mga reviewer na intended para sa pagpractice. yung PRACTICAL ACCOUNTING 1 na si valix din ang author.or yung practical accounting din ni UBERITA. yung mga taga manila madalas alam na nila to. pero yung mga taga probinsya malamang di nila alam kasi galing din ako sa probinsya and talagang nung una nahihirapan ako sa accounting sa book din ni valix kumukuha ng exams or quiz yung prof ko. pero nung magtransfer ako dito sa manila dun ko narealize marami pa lang way para maging madali basta may book ka bukod syempre kung masipag ka at matyagang magaral. payo ko lang dun sa mga taga probinsya mas maganda kung maginvest na kayo ng books para habang nasa lower accounting pa kayo mas namamaster nyo na. para pag nasa higher accounting na kayo di na kayo mahihirapan. kasi talagang babalik at babalik ulit kayo as umpisa lalo na pag nagrereview na. try nyong magcontribute sa pamasahe para may isang bibili or may luluwas. kasi nung time namin ganun ginawa namin. payo lang po. thanks

errovan November 17, 2008 Reply

i agree of what u have said ram_1085.. if yu were trying to cheat .. for what pa?… edi kung ganun, mawawalan ka na ng will para mag-aral ng mabuti sa acct. ..tatamarin ka na..
tyaga lang tlga yan.. 2lad ko na shinift lang ng prof. not knowing i had the potential pala na maging CPA whichever i dont really expect. Ung keys were just ok if u were reviewing na 4 da board. E fot the meanwhile, focus lang ung iniimpose in order to surpass that threadmill, rollercoaster of number sequence..

till now am not using cheats kc sabi ng mga m8s q., d ka matututo which is a big deal..for what pa para mag-CPA db?>
tamang isip , logical and critical thinking lang yan..

masakit sbhin pro if u dont have the guts to be a CPA, better choose for your right destination whichever you prefer urself na magiging successful ka,,..

payu lang din..
at last DEANS LISTER pa din ako..
no. 2 hehe

Converting the font to pure white will result in strong contrast between the font and the background. Mas masakit sa mata un. 😀

rachelle November 19, 2008 Reply

to roy:

kung di ako nagkakamali parang di ata pwede irevise ng isang author ang gawa ng ibang author unless my kakaibang agreement sila. kasi parang kabastusan yun at napakaunethical.di ako aware sa law pero tingin ko ganun yun. pwede pa siguro gumawa din sya ng book na prac 2 din ang topic.saka if im not mistaken kanya kanyang linya kasi yan eh. like si atty.valix master na nya at ang toa at prac 1 at yung si guerrero at dayag master na nila ang prac 2 kaya sila ang reviewer nun at author ng book. kumbaga kng gagawa ng book si valix baka di rin ganun kaeffective like nung linya nya which is yung toa at prac 1 nga.

tapos yung book naman ang alam ko mura na yung second hand or pirated na mabibili sa recto. un na talaga ang pinakamura eh. kelangan talaga may book. kung ipapaxerox mo naman yung book ng classmate mo aabutin ka ng mga 200 pesos eh ang brand new na pirated eh 150-250 depende kung magaling kang mambarat.

tapos yung author ng blog na to eh hindi si atty.valix. kung mababasa nyo yung lahat ng comments na to isa syang cpa board passer na mahilig sa chess at auditor in public practice ata. (not sure kung nagbago na).

ang days naman sa board exam 4days yun. normally pag october batch second and third week (sat. & sunday). pag may not sure eh madalas kasi 2 weeks sya saturday and sunday.

yung problem mo naman sa book ni guerrero na maraming error ganito gawin mo. wag ka masyadong magrely sa given na numbers. kumbaga intindihin mo yung logic nung topic wag yung numbers mismo. since accontancy naman tayo dapat malakas pick up natin sa mga ganyang bagay. tapos pag naintindihan mo na. saka ka magpractice ng problems sa reviewer ni dayag. ayun matututo ka na wala kasi ganong error dun. kung meron man acceptable naman.tsaka maraming question dun kaya pag natapos mo ok ka na..

deuts November 19, 2008 Reply

thanks rachelle for that informative comment. yes, i’m the author of this blog and I’m not Atty. Valix. I’m actually planning to post here later some tips especially on how to pass the board exam according to my experience. So watch out for that.

ram_1085 November 20, 2008 Reply

ang book ni Antonio Dayag ay Practical Accounting 2. (reviewer sya sa RESA) ang cover ng book na yun ay advance accounting 1 and 2, job order costing, cost accounting may standard costing din ata. not sure.

about naman sa mga question na binibigay sa board. actually nagrereview pa lang ako eh di ko pa natry magboard pero ang dinig ko. di naman basic. may mahirap at may madali din. kumbaga tama lang para matapos mo sa loob ng 3 hours. sbi nila nirerecycle lang daw ang mga questions lalo na sa law. kasi kwento lang to ng isang reviewer. ang member ng BOA na nagbibigay ng exams sa law ay hindi naman lawyer so mahirap kasi gumawa ng question sa isang field lalo na pag law na di mo naman master kasi baka nga naman maging bonus lahat yun. yun eh sabi lang samin.

dun naman sa mga sinabi mong book. di pa yun sapat. kasi di naman ibig sabihin na memorize mo na lahat ng procedure ng isang book ibig sabihin papasa ka na exam kasi minsan baka di rin kumuha dun yung examiner. kasi ung auditing theory na lang na book 5 na ang alam kong author. ibat iba lang sila ng approach. kaya parang 1 out 5 lang ang alam mo. dapat kasi yung logic or concept ang dapat aralin mo. kasi pareparehas lang naman laman nun magkaiba lang ng pagkadeliver,.tsaka minsan kumukuha din sila sa IAS. AICPA basta parang panginternational chuvaneses yun. di naman puro local.. basta kumbaga may testbank sila tapos kukuha sila ng mga question pwede ring gumawa ng bago o kumuha sa international.

Exam Tips

1. Visualize yourself as a CPA—believe that you can achieve your goal!

2. Use study materials that are no older than six months.

3. Complete your CPA exam application at least six months in advance of the date you plan to sit.

4. Establish a visible and accessible place to study. Make it convenient for yourself. Study whenever you have a free moment.

5. Take some time to analyze your strengths and weaknesses. Admit that you are not perfect.

6. Work to correct as many weaknesses as possible.

7. Answer all multiple-choice questions. The exam is positively graded. There is no penalty for guessing.

8. Your communication response must be on topic. Address the concept, not just state the concept. Clearly identify a thesis statement. Develop and support main ideas. Avoid the use of fragments, bullet-points, numbered lists, and run-on sentences. Use spell-check and proofread.

9. Don’t grade yourself. Leave the grading to the professionals. Move from question to question, focusing on each new question. Leave the previous questions behind. Each question deserves your utmost attention.

10. Don’t expect to reach perfection. Being perfect is not a requirement to pass the CPA exam.

11. Work to correct what you can. Continue to believe in yourself.

12. To help you remember important information, tape the examples to your bathroom mirror.

13. Each day, review the information as you brush your teeth. Don’t waste a minute of time.

14. Passing the exam is your goal. Don’t expect your family, friends, and coworkers to support you 100%. Treasure the support you receive. Don’t be a complainer – complaining won’t help you learn.

15. Don’t make excuses for why you have not met your study goals. Stop talking and get studying!

16. Don’t expect to reach perfection. Being perfect is not a requirement to pass the CPA exam. Work to correct what you can. Continue to believe in yourself.

17. Allow more time to prepare for AUDIT than to prepare for REG or BEC. It’s the longest CPA exam section.

18. Take the financial accounting and reporting section as soon as you can after your college graduation. If you don’t use the material everyday, you may lose it. Use it or risk losing it!

19. Remain calm, no matter what happens. Anger, frustration, and disgust only lead to despair.

20. Smile, work hard, and give each question the “old college try.” Continue to believe in your abilities.

21. Use only the agreed upon allocated time. Spending additional time on a testlet could result in a greater loss of points – you can’t pass and leave a testlet blank.

22. Failure is only a bump in the road – a hurdle that must be cleared. Establish a plan and move on. We have all failed at something in our lives. We will be measured at how we regroup to meet our goal.

23. When you become a CPA, use your skills to make a difference in the world. Act ethically in all you do. Be a role model for others to see.
