Accounting : Tools for Business Decision Making (4th ed)

With this fourth edition, accountants will acquire a practical set of tools and the confidence they need to use them effectively in making business decisions.

It better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.

The authors follow a "macro- to micro-" strategy by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle.

The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information.

This motivates accountants by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their careers.
