Now in its fifth edition, the primary goal of this text remains the same-teaching students to understand the impact of accounting information on a company's financial statements. The authors illustrate accounting not as a set of technical procedures, but as a way of identifying and understanding business problems and a means for evaluating alternative solutions. By organizing the text around the flow of information through a business, the authors provide students with a sound understanding of first, the accounting information system and then, an analysis of the financial, investing and operating activities of the firm. This approach is especially ideal for students who will become users of accounting information because concepts-not procedures---are emphasized.

Review:
Still the best text I have seen that has a user orientation and does not have the bookkeeping emphasis. I like that it has a decision-making approach.

The text does a great job presenting accounting, reporting and analytical concepts without getting bogged down in details. .....I am very pleased with the text and supporting materials. Many of the supplements that you offer may indeed be beneficial to other instructors.

I am pleased with the focus on operating, investing, and financing activities and how accounting information is used in these decisions.

The text fits our objective very well especially since I teach accounting to non-accounting majors.
