Description
For introductory accounting courses at the college or university level. The fourth edition of this best-selling introductory text is now in a three-volume format. It continues to illustrate each accounting principle and procedure using examples from real Canadian companies. The real-world business context that runs throughout the narrative and assignment material motivates students to learn and helps them grasp difficult concepts. The focus of this edition is to make practical and useful enhancements in the following four areas: Accuracy -- Examples, exercises, problems, and solutions have been heavily reviewed and edited by specialists in the field to ensure accuracy. (Anita Smale, CA, was the developmental editor and copy editor on the text. Over 20 instructors from across the country have reviewed various exercises and problems.) Problems and Exercises -- All have been carefully reviewed and revised to ensure language is clear, corporate and proprietorship forms are clear, and perpetual and periodic inventory systems are clear.
Supplements -- A Supplements Co-ordinator (Anita Smale, CA) was hired to ensure that improvements/changes were made to make the supplements accurate, integrated, and useful to instructors and students. Pedagogy -- New elements, such as Decision Guidelines, have been added to help students grasp concepts more readily and improve retention.
