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.
