STUDENTS LEARN BETTER WITH REIMERS! THE BEST CHOICE FOR ACCOUNTING MAJORS AND NON-MAJORS If you're an accounting major, here's some good news! Jane L. Reimers' Financial Accounting: A Business Process Approach covers all of the core topics critical to the financial accounting course. If you're a non-major, you're in luck too. Why? Because Reimers emphasizes how accounting relates to and reports on business activities. The accounting issues are presented in the context of running a business-something you are very likely to do in your future career! WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND WHERE WE'RE GOING You always know what's important in Reimers. How? Because each chapter sets the stage for students with a quick overview of what they just learned ("Here's Where You've Been...") and where they're headed ("Here's Where You're Going...") so that students are prepared to tackle new concepts.
