This is the only textbook in the financial accounting market that focuses on the innovation and excitement of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Nearly all 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 early 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. - "Beyond the Numbers" end-of-chapter problems reinforce critical-thinking skills and decision making with real company examples and Internet references. - "Quick Checks" throughout the chapter reinforce the material just covered.
They 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. - Comprehensive and Serial Problems are included in several chapters and focus on multiple learning objectives from multiple chapters.
