Financial Accounting helps students “nail” the accounting cycle!

The concepts and mechanics students learn in the critical ‘accounting cycle’ chapters are used consistently and repetitively–and with clear-cut details and explanations–throughout the remainder of the text, minimizing confusion.

Financial Accounting helps students “nail” the accounting cycle up front in order to increase success and retention later on. The concepts and mechanics students learn in the critical ‘accounting cycle’ chapters are used consistently and repetitively—and with clear-cut details and explanations—throughout the remainder of the text, minimizing confusion.

International Financial Reporting Standards

This text has been substantially rewritten as an IFRS textbook rather than just add on material to a US-GAAP book. Students and instructors will continue to benefit from the benefits and pedagogical features of an established accounting text. In order to increase student awareness of the most important potential shift in the future of financial accounting, information on IFRS is introduced in Chapter 1, can be found where appropriate throughout the chapters in the new Global View feature, and in a new appendix.

Consistency, Repetition, and a High Level of Detail

Throughout the text, the core concepts and mechanics are brought together using consistent language, format, and formulas. Students also receive thorough explanations and details that show the meaning behind each concept and how to do the computation following it. So whether it’s the first transaction or the last, students perform the analysis in the same way, reinforcing their understanding, reducing the level of confusion and frustration, and helping them capture those “I get it!” moments.

Better Coverage of the Accounting Cycle from Start to Finish

Chapter 1 introduces the accounting cycle with a brief financial statement overview, using the financial statements of J.Crew Group, Inc. This first exposure to accounting explores financial statements in depth, familiarizes students with using real business data, and points out basic relationships between the different types of statements.

Chapter 2 continues the discussion of the accounting cycle by explaining how to analyze and record basic transactions, and builds in repetition to ensure that students understand the fundamentals when they prepare the trial balance.

Chapter 3 concludes the discussion of the accounting cycle with adjusting and closing entries, and preparation of the related trial balances to close the loop for students.

A Mid-Chapter Summary Problem provides a stopping point for students—it gives them an opportunity to repeat the entire process again, using data from a different company, to make sure they’ve “got it.” The End-of-Chapter Summary Problem closes out the chapter and allows the student to practice the process again and really “nail” these fundamental skills.

Enhanced Coverage of Cash Flows

The current economy has created a shift in how we view money—specifically, cash. Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business so the coverage of Cash Flows in this edition has been increased and highlighted in Chapters 4-10, where students can easily see the connections and understand the significance.

Fraud Coverage

In an age of public scandals, understanding fraud is a key component of Financial Accounting. Chapter 4 includes the concept of fraud, and introduces students to the “fraud triangle” (motivation, opportunity, and rationalization) and a discussion of internal controls as the primary way companies prevent fraud.

Ethics

Sound ethical judgment is important for every major financial decision—which is why this text provides consistent ethical reinforcement in every chapter.

Decision Guidelines present day-to-day business decisions and can be used as a summary in the end-of-chapter material where they highlight key terms, information, and formulas. The Decision Guidelines can also be used as a basis for students’ future business decisions.

Demo Docs in the accounting cycle chapters offer fully worked-through problems that weave computation and concepts together in a step-by-step format, helping students understand the “how” and “why”. Additional Demo Docs, including animated versions, are available in the study guide.

NEW! User-Oriented Approach focuses students’ attention on the meaning and relevance of information in the financial statements by adding new ratios to assist in evaluating liquidity, turnover, and profitability.
