This text is written for a one semester course in introductory accounting, generally titled "Financial
Accounting," and is written for students who have no prior knowledge of accounting and accounting systems.
This text is appropriate for the course where heavy emphasis is on concepts, not procedural detail.
Benefits:
- NEW! Alternate End-of-Chapter Material on CD: In order to provide you and your students with more end-of-chapter
assignments, this edition will have a complete set of alternate exercises and problems on CD- bundled with the
text for free or salable separately.
- Analysis of Real Companies: The authors have consistently and carefully chosen real companies and highlighted
this financial information in order to provide students with compelling examples and illustrations of financial
accounting topics. Featured companies include General Mills, Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, and Wal-Mart.
- Continuing Excel Problem: Recognizing the ever-increasing importance of this electronic spreadsheet tool, the
authors guide student learning of Excel by providing a problem in every chapter that ties to a continuing case,
which runs throughout the text. Additional guidance in using Excel is printed within Ch. F8 and F9.
- NEW! Continuing Chapter-Opening "Story:" Each chapter starts with a new installment of a financial
accounting case, which continues throughout the text and illustrates the chapter coverage. Each chapter story begins
with a question that provides a framework for applying key financial accounting concepts. This story-telling method
helps enhance student understanding of the importance of accounting in the business environment.
- NEW! "Thinking Beyond the Question" Feature: In support of the continuing story throughout the text,
the authors added a new End-of-Chapter assignment entitled "Thinking Beyond the Question." These questions
encourage students to think about the opening story and its focus question in order to test their understanding
of the chapter concepts.
- NEW! Optional Coverage of Computerized Accounting Systems: This extensively revised coverage, now Chapter F7,
examines accounting systems, including the flow of data and processing in computerized systems. A goal of this
chapter is to help students see accounting as a dynamic, technological process. Also included in this chapter is
an optional tutorial involving a simple accounting database system to illustrate how basic accounting functions
are automated and how computers facilitate the accounting process. The related database file is on the same CD
that contains the alternate end-of-chapter assignments as well as on the text's Web site (http://ingram.swcollege.com).
- NEW! Extensively Revised First Half: The accounting cycle coverage has been reorganized, simplified, and consolidated
into Ch. F3. Coverage of the broader context of financial reporting, including the importance of disclosure, accounting
regulation, auditing, and internal control, appears in an all-new Chapter F6. Expanded Ethics Coverage. Chapter
F1 contains a new section specifically addressing the timely topic of ethics. In addition, several Case in Point
boxes in the text bring to life the real issues of ethics today.
- Early Presentation of Key Financial Statements: This early, straightforward coverage of the balance sheet,
the income statement, the statement of cash flows, and the statement of stockholders' equity carefully guides student
understanding of how the statments interrelate and impact each other.
- Transaction Effects Equation: Examples of the classification of transactions are denoted by a revised transaction
effects equation, which easily illustrates for students the impact of their decisions on the financial statements.
