Persons
The powerful author team of the Horngren/Harrison franchise is comprised of Charles Horngren and Tom Harrison. Both highly respected professors in academia and in the accounting industry, they joined together to write a text to provide students with a solid foundation of the principles of accounting. Accounting was the first text to tie accounting concepts to the business reasons behind them. Charles and Tom recognized that most students will USE accounting information, not simply create it. In Accounting, the authors talk to the business person or the USER of the accounting information, which engages the non-major, business student. Over the years, the Accounting franchise became a trusted, tried and true choice for instructors who wanted their students to learn accounting with the traditional framework but with modern application.
For the 8th edition, Horngren and Harrison invited Suzanne Oliver to join the already solid author team. Suzanne Oliver brings her detailed knowledge of the series from her years of active use of the text in her courses and also as an author of the MyAccountingLab content and instructor resources. In addition, Suzanne contributes an invaluable element of her teaching experience at community colleges and in varied classroom environments (traditional, hybrid and online). Together, the author team?s goal was to retain the traditional, solid accounting foundation of the text while adding a modern Table of Contents and fresh new approach to reach today?s students. This revision of the text further strengthens the textbook component of the Student Learning System and provides consistency for students throughout the text, the study resources and MyAccountingLab.
