This innovative, contemporary, and relevant text focuses on the use of accounting information for decision making and places students into situations where management decisions need to be made. Students learn both when and why accounting information is key to communicating important information within an organization, so that as managers they can make informed choices. The first half of the text demonstrates how organizations use accounting information to make financing, investing, and operating decisions. The second half emphasizes managerial accounting as a key communication process for management decision making.

Review:
The text has many excellent exercises and problems. Many problems are easy for the students to get started with due to the use of a suggested form or format and in some cases a reference to a chapter exhibit.

The self-study problems were useful and practical. They also provide models for some of the homework assignments.

I have always enjoyed using the Ingram text. I have particularly enjoyed the instructor supplement explaining cooperative learning and giving a plan for each chapter. I have used that as much as any other supplement I received.

I have always found the self-study problems a real strength of this text. They enable students to check their understanding immediately, and they also effectively break the chapters down into workable parts.
