Publisher's Synopsis
Many of today's introductory courses are geared for business students in general, and they are becoming increasingly user-oriented. As a result, some instructors are finding that their financial accounting courses are not properly preparing accounting students for intermediate courses. Fortunately, J. Edward Ketz has developed an innovative solution that bridges the gap. His new text guides students through the mechanics of accounting, providing a firm foundation for courses that follow as well as professional practice. Clearly written and filled with helpful pedagogy, the text covers financial statements, bookkeeping, accounting information systems, technology, auditing, and more.
