Description

For courses in Introductory Accounting

Essentials of Accounting is a workbook that provides a self-teaching and self-paced introduction to financial accounting for active users of business data. This text presents the ideas and terminology essential to understanding balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows in a unique format that enables students to study and learn with ease.

 

The Essentials of Accounting is best used when paired with the Core Concepts of Accounting 10/e which captures the full text (but not the programmed approach) of Essentials of Accounting, 10/e, while including important accounting concepts and terms.

The tenth edition of this text now features a new chapter on International Financial Reporting Standards, DuPont analysis, updated detail on Statement of Cash Flows and new mini-cases.


Features

For courses in Introductory Accounting

 

The leading programmed text in accounting.

Essentials of Accounting is a self-teaching, self-paced introduction to financial accounting for active users of business data. This text presents the ideas and terminology essential to understanding balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows in a unique format that enables students to study and learn with ease.

The tenth edition of this text now features a new chapter on International Financial Reporting Standards, DuPont analysis, updated detail on Statement of Cash Flows and new mini-cases.

 

"Split-page" Design: The unique format of this text enables students to study and learn with ease. All they have to do is cover the right-hand side of the page, work through the problems on the left-hand side, and then check their workbook. This method is ideal for comprehension.

Book has unique reversal of pages in the later chapters. This design was conceived as a way to allow the answer column to always appear in the right margin. The book is completed front to back, then inverted and completed back to front

 

Provide the Basics: Essentials of Accounting presents the ideas and terminology essential to an understanding of balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows. An ideal introduction/review, this supplemental text frees up professors from at least five class sessions in a conventional first course in accounting.

NEW! Inclusion of the DuPont Analysis: This text now includes the DuPont analysis in the chapter on financial statement analysis.

 

UPDATED. Statement of Cash Flows: This edition now includes more detail on Statement of Cash Flows.

 

NEW! "Mini-cases": These cases highlight relevant situations to students and can be used in addition to the current Post Tests for each chapter.
