Q.Do you want your students to understand more information in less class time?

A.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. It features a "split-page" design where students 1) cover the right-hand side of the page, 2) work problems on the left-hand side, and 3) then check their workbook.

Examples: pg. XX and YY

Q. Are you looking to free up class time to cover concepts versus baseline information on the balance sheets and income statements?

A.  Essentials of Accounting, 9/e 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.

  • Revised chapters on nonprofit and government accounting principles
  • Addition of “Quality of Earnings” and Sarbanes-Oxley concepts in the chapter on analysis of financial statements.
  • Simplicity in the presentation of financial accounting concepts to build and understand financial statements
Key Continuing Features
  • Self-teaching format– Allows students to learn at their own pace.
  • 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 FASB.
  • 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.
