The goal is to introduce a new Principles of Accounting text that better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.<br> The authors have taken a new "macro- to micro-" approach to the Principles of Accounting course by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle (although the Accounting Cycle is thoroughly covered in Chapters 3 and 4). The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. They motivate students by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their future career. 1073044 16 1 2004 Principles of Accounting, with Annual Report total:1|1:1| 1 1 1 0 1 0 false false Mon Jul 07 19:19:05 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 19:19:05 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1086272
