Inhaltsangabe

Fundamentals of Financial Accounting introduces students to financial accounting using a balanced mix of conversational wording, clear and concise presentations, and everyday examples, allowing students to grasp concepts fundamental to financial accounting without sacrificing rigor or coverage. It incorporates carefully chosen focus companies that students recognize and engage with in their everyday lives. From tech start-ups to some of the world’s most familiar trademark brands, each chapter opens with an engaging scenario or story using a familiar company. The same focus company is used throughout the entire chapter so that students can see how the concepts and calculations apply to a real-world company they are already familiar with.

Fundamentals of Financial Accounting uses peer-reviewed research and careful analysis of data to inform pedagogy and presentation of concepts. For example, the authors’ research on various approaches to teaching the accounting cycle informed the step-by-step model used in the text—a model proven to lead to better results in short-term assessment as well as in long-term understanding and application of the material. By breaking the accounting cycle down into more cohesive, bite-sized segments, students develop a stronger foundational understanding.

Reseña del editor

Fundamentals of Financial Accounting combines an engaging writing style, entrepreneurial focus, and data-driven pedagogy in a balanced approach to Financial Accounting. Its extended coverage of the Accounting Cycle is proven to yield better short- and long-term results for students by building steadily their confidence and understanding instead of hastily rushing through challenging concepts.
To better help students grasp both the practical and conceptual side of Accounting, Phillips has created the most extensive database of high-quality video assets available in the market. Located within the Connect platform, these include:

• Concept Overview Videos – Focusing on core concepts tied to individual learning objectives, this animated and narrated content includes checkpoint questions that allow instructors to grade for accuracy, not just completion.

• Spotlight Videos – Newsmagazine-style videos providing an overview of business decisions, ethics, and internal control issues that highlight real-world situations.

• Flash Topic Videos – An introduction to hot topics in the accounting industry to expose students to important trends that will impact their careers.

• In Action Videos – Tutorials that illustrate thought processes applicable to topics like analyzing  transactions, adjusting accounts, and more.

• Guided Examples – Instructor-enabled hint videos that are built into certain end-of-chapter content to help students work through exercises by seeing similar problems.

Each chapter features real companies whose products and services are relevant to students, while the Accounting Cycle chapters follow the same start-up company to better illustrate how entrepreneurs employ financial data throughout their company’s growth. Between the conversational tone, clear and concise presentations, and everyday examples, Fundamentals of Financial Accounting improves the student experience while maintaining the needed rigor to deliver successful results.
