Description

Features

• NEW—Updated throughout for new FASB pronouncements.
• NEW—Statement of Cash Flows (Chapter 9) revised.
• NEW—Chapter 11 on not-for-profit/government accounting.
• Self-teaching format—Consists of 11 Parts, each with an average of 75 “frames.” Each frame is a sentence or short paragraph that asks students to DO something relevant to the point being made: fill in a blank with the correct word, number, or term; select the correct alternative; calculate an amount; make a journal entry, prepare a simple financial statement. In the early Parts, the frames are relatively short and simple; in later Parts they are more complicated. Repetition is deliberately used throughout to solidify key points and concepts. A “Response Mask” flap on the back cover folds over and “masks” the correct answers (to encourage learning) as the student progresses through the text.
• A serious focus on the use of information—Rather than on bookkeeping. Describes some of the complicated accounting practices and is entirely consistent with pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
• A gradual progression in level of rigor—Begins with a conceptual foundation; the mechanics of debits/credits, etc. come later in order not to detract from the underlying concepts.
• Strong pedagogic support—Includes chapter objectives, “key points to remember,” post tests, and glossary.
• An accompanying self-contained booklet—Includes an expanded glossary/index of terms with definitions, exhibits, and post-tests with answers for each chapter.
