This brief self-paced, programmed approach to financial accounting is appropriate for vocational, undergraduate, graduate, and executive level courses. Designed to help readers learn how to use and interpret accounting information, the text can be used by itself or in conjunction with computerized accounting, casebooks, or principles textbooks. It frees the professor from at least 5 class sessions in a conventional first course in accounting and is ideal for those entering or in the first weeks of an MBA program. The 2000 edition has been updated for currency, in-text dates, and now includes a new co-author, Leslie Pearlman.

NEW—Leslie Pearlman from Harvard University has now joined the team as a co-author for the Seventh Editions.
NEW—Use of the year “2000” wherever feasible.

Helps students become accustomed to date formats in the new millennium.

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 time-honored, detailed step-by-step approach that requires students to actively participate in the learning process and that guarantees mastery of basics.

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.

Helps students develop an understanding of essential ideas from basic concepts before moving on to more difficult material.

Strong pedagogic support—Includes chapter objectives, “key points to remember,” post tests, and glossary.

Provides students with convenient in-text study/review aids.

An accompanying self-contained booklet—Includes an expanded glossary/index of terms with definitions, exhibits, and post-tests with answers for each chapter.
