Financial Accounting for Managers gives the flexibility to emphasize or deemphasize debits and credits in an undergraduate or graduate course by providing a modular structure to fit different course lengths, approaches, and assignments that can be easily filtered to fit the needs of individual instructor teaching styles. Each business transaction throughout the text is illustrated with its effects on the balance sheet and income statement. The focus prepares students to be business managers who understand how accounting information reveals a company’s profitability, risk, and efficiency of operations. When paired with Connect, it has student success resources that include auto-graded cases, Tableau Dashboard Activities, Integrated Excel, multiple video types, Guided Examples, General Ledger Problems, and SmartBook, an adaptive reading and practice tool for students.
