Accosting the Golden Spire, Third Edition mixes financial fraud, crime, ethics, and accounting practice together to provide a better way of learning the accounting process. Featuring a sleuth who handles balance sheets and income statements the way most detectives handle guns, Lenny Cramer and his humorous sidekick put accounting and business concepts into real-life context. Dr. Cramer, a professor at the Wharton School, operates a small forensic accounting firm. He teaches, testifies before Congress, and appears as an expert witness in a court battle. But the real action occurs when he investigates financial fraud in a friend's jade shop. Using his forensic skills, he uncovers a plot to steal treasures from a remote Asian country and almost gets himself killed trying to stop the heist. Golden Spire is an educational novel designed as a supplement to financial accounting courses and professional ethics seminars at either the undergraduate or graduate level. It has been used successfully near the end of principles of accounting, at the beginning of intermediate accounting, and as basis for the discussion of professional codes of conduct in an accounting ethics course. The supplement would also be ideal for an MBA program which has a light coverage of accounting, or in CPA firms' in-house training programs as an enrichment exercise. Classroom tests of early drafts of this third edition and the previous two published editions have demonstrated repeatedly that students enjoy reading the instructional thriller and learn the accounting concepts more readily than through traditional texts.

(Jeff Burke, Special Agent of the IRS, goes beyond the law...)
Jeff Burke, Special Agent of the IRS, goes beyond the law as he uncovers a major plot to rip off millions of dollars of income tax revenues. As a supplementary text for public finance, taxation, or accounting courses, it puts taxation concepts into words a novice can understand. Called a ''cross between Mickey Spillane and Mr. Chips'' by The Washington Post, Professor Larry Crumbley (also writing as Iris Weil Collett) is the author of twelve other widely adopted educational novels. Business Week in June 1989, called him a mover and shaker, and noted that he ''aims to lend excitement to the study of debits and credits by couching the stuff in romantic prose.'' Using forensic accountants as his major characters, Crumbley has been called the Mark Twain of the accounting profession by New Accountant.

(Costly Reflections in a Midas Mirror is an educational no...)
Costly Reflections in a Midas Mirror is an educational novel to be used near the end of a principles of managerial accounting course or at the beginning of a second-level cost accounting course. This instructional novel is ideal for an MBA program or a finance course which has a light coverage of managerial accounting. The inverse of ledgers, margins, and units, the story contains dead bodies, a wealthy client, and a drug-money laundering scheme. This supplemental text mixes fraud, murder, art, ethics, terrorism, and managerial accounting together to get a better way of learning the accounting process. Lenny Cramer, a Professor at Columbia University, tries to help a wealthy friend of his university. As a managerial professor, he uses his forensic background to solve a ''whodunit'' plot. Along the way, business practices and accounting concepts are elucidated in a way both students and instructors will find gripping as well as informative. This scenario approach may be used to reinforce cost accounting principles and introduce writing skills into the classroom. The potential murderers are numerous in this fast-paced Philip Marlowe-type intrigue. Although a fundamental premise in accounting is that the reporting entity is a going-concern in the absence of evidence to the contrary, with so many murders in this plot, a liquidation assumption is more appropriate. So jump on board and enjoy the read. But keep sunk costs values and salability of assets in mind as you unravel the plot, rather than the traditional historical costs. Remember that an effective managerial accountant must be a good detective with a computer, even without a fedora and snub-nosed revolver. Dan Stone said in a review that ''Lenny Cramer and his life offer rich possibilities for exploring the construction of an accountant life.'' The novel ''has a sense of humor, it entertains, and it even educates. Ultimately, Crumbley and his pioneering co-authors deserve our thanks and praise for bravely creating a new genre of accounting scholarship despite considerable overt hostility from both in and outside the academy.''
