Synopsis

Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts 9e, by Edmonds/Edmonds/Tsay/Olds focuses on the development of decision-making skills and helping students truly understand the underlying principles of accounting, not just memorize content.

The text is organized in a coherent, integrative framework that enables students to build knowledge in stepwise fashion, focusing on real-world examples and international issues, with both "A Look Back" and "A Look Forward" to ensure content is current and relevant.
