Text Overview

The first play of the game is the Intermediate Accounting text itself. The cornerstone of the learning system, Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, offers a strong conceptual emphasis and decision-making focus- always showing students not only how an accounting principle is used, but also why. This flexible, concise text enables students to use accounting information to make decisions, understand financial reporting issues, and critically evaluate reporting alternatives.

To better involve, inform, and motivate students, the text's tone is conversational- it speaks with the student as opposed to teaching to the student. Twelve different kinds of cases are used throughout the text to apply chapter concepts and develop student's critical thinking skills.
