For courses in Introductory Accounting
Uniquely formatted to offer the perfect balance between learning and applying.
This programmed text has a proven format that involves a unique reversal of pages in the later chapters. This design was conceived as a way to allow the answer column to always appear in the right margin. The book is completed front to back, then inverted and completed back to front.
The latest edition of this text is more up-to-date.
"Split-page" Design: The unique format of this text enables students to study and learn with ease. All they have to do is cover the right-hand side of the page, work through the problems on the left-hand side, and then check their workbook. This method is ideal for comprehension.
Provide the Basics: Essentials of Accounting presents the ideas and terminology essential to an understanding of balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows. An ideal introduction/review, this supplemental text frees up professors from at least five class sessions in a conventional first course in accounting.
NEW! Chapter on the introductions to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): In keeping with emphasis on brevity found in the rest of the book, this introduction chapter on IFRS is succinct and to the point.
NEW! Inclusion of the DuPont Analysis: This text now includes the DuPont analysis in the chapter on financial statement analysis.
UPDATED. Statement of Cash Flows: This edition now includes more detail on Statement of Cash Flows.
NEW! "Mini-cases": These cases highlight relevant situations to students and can be used in addition to the current Post Tests for each chapter.
