  • New Topic Tackler multimedia software, by Jeannie M. Folk of College of Du Page, is a complete tutorial focusing on challenging topics in the principles of accounting course.
  • New Accounting Cycle software – Accessible on the same CD as Topic Tackler, The Accounting Cycle software is a derivative of our Interactive Financial Accounting Lab by Smith/Birney.

Robert F. Meigs – San Diego State University (Emeritus)

New Features:

  • New Managerial Chapter— Chapter 24, “Performance Measurement and Analysis” covers timely concepts such as Just-In-Time services, Total Quality Management, Balanced Scorecard, and EVA®.
  • Revised Coverage of Accounting Cycle—There are now separate chapters on adjusting and closing/reporting entries. Overwhelming reviewer feedback felt this separation would lead to improved student understanding and performance. Adjusting entries are now covered in Chapter 4 and closing/reporting entries are now covered in Chapter 5.
  • Corporate Approach—New corporate approach begins in chapter 2 and is carried throughout the text. Reviewer feedback has told us that students would most benefit by concentrating on the corporate approach as it is aligned with the future work of most students.
