PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING continues to lead the market with balanced, flexible content supported by an array of integrated print and technology supplements. Designed for both majors and non-majors, the new edition focuses on the relevance of accounting in business with an emphasis on decision-making and analysis. Whether an instructor wants to present a user or procedural orientation, incorporate new instructional strategies, develop students' core competencies, or integrate the latest technology into the classroom, the 2005e Edition provides a total solution. The integrated text and technology program engages students in relevant issues and themes, from the Enron crisis--which led to a series of amendments in accounting law--to the controversy surrounding stock options. Case studies, accompanied by provocative questions, help build critical thinking skills and connect accounting to the real world of business.
  • Eight video cases are available on both the Student CD and the HM ClassPrep CD for instructors.
  • The instructor web site features a collection of new essays that discuss current events and issues in accounting. These essays can be used as exam questions or extra-credit assignments.
  • The chapter-based HMAccounting Tutor CD replaces the Accounting Transaction Tutor (ATT). Students can apply the readings for each chapter to a diagnostic test, a tutorial, an Internet assignment, and a demonstration problem (which includes animation and voice-over narrations).
  • Powered by Blackboard, Eduspace is a customizable, powerful, and interactive platform that provides instructors with text-specific online content.
