About this title

Synopsis

The Bridge is gone. The new edition of FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES represents a new era for this accounting masterpiece. Driven by changes in the course, the student body of the next millenium, and the needs of the principles of accounting instructor, FAP 15 will set the pace for all principles revisions in the future. Our new co-author, John Wild, brings years of experience teaching introductory students to this revision, manifesting itself with unique pedagogy and contemporary topical presentation. Barbara Chiappetta continues to provide her expertise in active learning methods by guiding instructors with hints for engaging students, and overseeing the development of dynamic new interactive technology. Barbara has also collaborated with John on topical presentation and the writing of three key supplements (Study Guide, Instructor's Resource Manual, and F.A.S.T. Annotations). Kermit Larson maintains his role as consultant overseeing all changes to the new edition, and directing the revision process. All major elements of the text have been evaluated and revised to reflect the contemporary course, including pedagogy, topical coverage, end-of-chapter material, and the use of the Internet.
