Financial Accounting, Reporting and Analysis (with 1-year Access to Thomson ONE, Business School Edition). This item is unavailable.Financial Accounting, Reporting and Analysis (with 1-year Access to Thomson ONE, Business School Edition)

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING is designed to prepare users to succeed as future business managers by emphasizing the business context of accounting, the interaction between accounting and business, and financial statement analysis. This text demonstrates how financial statements are useful and interesting tools for diagnosing a company's problems or strengths, and for making loan, investment, acquisition, employment and political decisions. Using actual financial statements the authors leverage students' everyday consumer experiences to link accounting terminology and practice with actual events that they already understand. Lastly, Journal Entries and the Accounting Cycle are de-emphasized – they're not covered until chapter 7 and after that they are only used sparingly.
