FOCUS ON IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ACCOUNTING, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BUSINESS DECISIONS IN A REAL-WORLD CONTEXT. With earlier introduction to detailed financial statements (e.g., classified balance sheet, multiple step income statement), students can start reading, analyzing and using actual annual reports (Form 10Ks) earlier. This is enhanced with a supplement on “How to Read an Annual Report” that describes the contents of a Form 10-K and reinforced with algorithmic Annual Report Problems that require students to use actual information from company’s 10Ks.
