Description
Core Concepts of Accountingis designed for use in a one-semester, introductory survey of accounting class, providing the basics of both financial and managerial accounting. Financial accounting provides primarily monetary information about business activities that result in the financial statements that are published for use by people outside the business. Managerial accounting provides monetary and nonmonetary information about business activities that result in supporting details for the financial statements; it also provides information for internal organizational users to plan, control, or make decisions about operations.
Core Concepts of Accountingprovides a balanced approach to the conceptual and technical aspects of advanced accounting.
• End-Of Chapter Materials and Icons - ach chapter contains a summary, key terms list, and a variety of questions,
exercises, problems, and short cases for in-class discussion or homework.

reading. Visual Recaps are provided to illustrate significant topics in a pictorial manner or summarized in a table.
• Accounting Information for Decision Making - This section is designed to emphasize a user (rather than preparer)
perspective of accounting information. These sections will address how external parties can analyze and interpret the types of information discussed in the chapter.
