Publisher's Synopsis
For Accounting Principles, Survey of Accounting, and 50/50 courses.
This introduction to accounting and its significant role in making sound business decisions teaches students how to be wise users, not necessarily preparers of accounting information-a strong user-based approach that's endorsed and supported by the AECC. The authors present accounting information in a broader business context-emphasizing what accounting information is, why it is important, and how it is used to make strategic economic decisions-coverage of financial and management accounting included.
