Description
This text offers a real-world approach to financial accounting theory, terminology, and procedures. Students learn how to comprehend a typical corporate annual report and to use accounting as a tool in understanding how economic events affect business. Simple concepts are introduced early and revisited at more advanced levels as students gain sophistication and understanding, and concepts are made concrete at every step with actual, current company illustrations. An extensive selection of supplements help students move beyond the text for hands-on experience with the real world of financial accounting.
