Financial Accounting (Paperback, International student edition)

This textbook focuses on the innovation and excitement of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Many financial accounting texts cover only big corporations, an approach which fails to relate to many students' career paths or goals, or to deal with the realities of today's business world. In order to motivate students and help them learn to make business decisions, the text also includes many teaching elements, extending into a "Decision Centre" which emphasizes the use of accounting information in business decision making. The book focuses on business and technology, offering students and faculty a modern, dynamic and relevant presentation of accounting. There is also extensive coverage of real-world, corporate financial statements throughout. The book also features: "Beyond the Numbers" end-of-chapter problems to reinforce critical-thinking skills and decision making with real company examples and Internet references; "Quick Checks" throughout the chapter that reinforce the material just covered, to allow the reader to pause and reflect on the topics and give immediate feedback on the reader's understanding before moving on by providing answers at the end of the chapter; and comprehensive and serial problems included in several chapters which focus on multiple learning objectives from multiple chapters.
