Review
Still the best text I have seen that has a user orientation and does not have the bookkeeping emphasis. I like that it has a decision-making approach.
The text does a great job presenting accounting, reporting and analytical concepts without getting bogged down in details. .....I am very pleased with the text and supporting materials. Many of the supplements that you offer may indeed be beneficial to other instructors.
I am pleased with the focus on operating, investing, and financing activities and how accounting information is used in these decisions.
The text fits our objective very well especially since I teach accounting to non-accounting majors.

Beware,
By SCERAU "Shawn" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Accounting: Information for Decisions (Available Titles Cengagenow) (Hardcover)
If this book is required for your class beware! There are still questions in the self study questions, through out the book that after 6 editions are still are wrong. The book will say one thing in the chapter and then want you to do another in the chapter questions, without the benifit of telling you how or giving an example. I took my course online without the benifit of an instructor to ask questions face to face. This proved to be difficult. I am sure if you have a GOOD understanding of accounting this is a good book however with out a little background it can be a little trying.
