Synopsis

This interesting and relevant text consistently weaves a decision-making theme throughout its fifteen chapters and three modules. This Decision-Making Focus is reinforced by continually utilizing a five-point organizational scheme. The unique structure of this text focuses the student's attention on how and why accounting data are needed and used by decision makers. Throughout the chapters, there is an additional emphasis on the necessity of accurate and reliable internal controls; a focus on ethical issues relative to accounting data; and the integration of international accounting issues. Quality end-of-chapter materials complete the text. In addition to great problems and exercises, these include thought-provoking Decision Cases, writing and research projects, and the use of the Internet. Each may be useful as independent or collaborative learning.
