INTEGRATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FRAMEWORK STRESSES THE INTERDEPENDENT NATURE OF ACCOUNTING. The book's unique integrated financial statement framework clearly demonstrates for students how transactions impact each of the three primary financial statements. This framework replaces the traditional use of journal entries, debits and credits and ledger accounts in other texts.
THE AUTHORS' SPECIAL METRIC ANALYSES APPEAR THROUGHOUT THIS EDITION. These unique metric analyses use common business metrics to assess a company’s financial condition and performance. The metrics highlight information assessed from three perspectives: a transaction perspective, financial statement perspective and managerial decision-making perspective. To further support these metric analyses, end-of-chapter problems test students’ knowledge and understanding of the concepts.
THE BOOK'S METRIC ANALYSES ARE VISUALLY DISTINGUISHED BY A DISTINCT COLOR. This allows you, the instructor, to quickly locate the analyses within the chapters as well as identify the corresponding end-of-chapter section for assigning homework.
"USING DATA ANALYTICS" FEATURE BOXES DEMONSTRATE HOW DATA ANALYTICS RELATE TO SPECIFIC FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING TOPICS. These feature boxes that appear within each chapter describe an application of data analytics that directly corresponds to the chapter’s content.
