Financial Accounting, 9th Edition

Financial Accounting helps readers “nail” the accounting cycle!

Financial Accounting helps readers “nail” the accounting cycle up front in order to increase success and retention later on. The concepts and mechanics readers learn in the critical ‘accounting cycle’ chapters are used consistently and repetitively—and with clear-cut details and explanations—throughout the remainder of the text, minimizing confusion.

This edition features a new user-oriented approach along with many new problems, exercises, and analysis questions.
