Description
This introduction to accounting, and its significant role in making sound business decisions, seeks to teach students how to be wise users, not necessarily preparers of accounting information -- a focus endorsed and supported by the AECC. The authors put accounting information into the broader business context, emphasizing what accounting information is, why it is important, and how it is used to make strategic economic decisions.
