Synopsis

This book introduces the student to the field of accounting and to the use of accounting as a basis for business decisions. All aspects of this textbook and its supporting ancillaries have been carefully evaluated and revised to create a more user-friendly, dynamic textbook, while retaining the foundation that has made it so successful. This new edition gives increased attention to explaining the nature of business activities before discussing the related accounting issues. The focus is on the current and emerging business environment, not that of the past.

Financial Accounting covers all the areas noted above in Accounting: The Basis for Business Decisions with the exception of Managerial Accounting: Planning and Control.
