Financial Accounting, 13/e

While many texts characterize themselves as
having either a “user” approach or a “preparer” approach, Williams’
Financial Accounting is written for faculty who want to strike a balance
between these approaches. Business majors will find relevance in the
“Ethics, Fraud & Corporate Governance,” “Your Turn” and “Case in Point”
boxes throughout the chapters while accounting majors will receive a
firm grounding in accounting basics that will prepare them for their
intermediate course. A unique feature is the multimedia companion, My
Mentor. This text-specific technology resource (available free on the
book’s website) uses video clips, animated graphics, PowerPoints and
Excel templates to demonstrate accounting concepts visually. This allows
students to link concepts and numbers together in an interactive rather
than print environment.

Libby/Libby/Short wrote this text based on their
belief that the subject of financial accounting is inherently
interesting, but financial accounting textbooks are often not. They
believe most financial accounting textbooks fail to demonstrate that
accounting is an exciting field of study and one that is important to
future careers in business. When writing this text, they considered
career relevance as their guide when selecting material, and the need to
engage the student as their guide to style, pedagogy, and design.
Libby/Libby/Short is the only financial accounting text to successfully
implement a real-world, single focus company approach in every chapter.
Students and instructors have responded very favorably to the use of
focus companies and the real-world financial statements. The companies
chosen are engaging and the decision-making focus shows the relevance of
financial accounting regardless of whether or not the student has chosen
to major in accounting.

Fundamental Managerial
Accounting Concepts
4e by Edmonds/Edmonds/Tsay/Olds
focuses on concepts that
are isolated and
introduced in a logical
sequence. The authors
intentionally limit the
scope of the material to
help students build a
solid foundation of the
most important concepts
in managerial
accounting.
Fundamental
Managerial Accounting
Concepts 4e is
organized in a
distinctive way,
particularly in the
first six chapters. The
objective is to
establish a coherent,
integrative framework
that enables students to
build knowledge in
stepwise fashion. The
authors’ goal is for
students to understand
the underlying
principles of
accounting, not just
memorize content.

Managerial Accounting: Creating Value in a
Dynamic Business Environment, 7/e
Ronald W. Hilton, Cornell University--Ithaca
ISBN: 0073022853
Copyright year: 2008
|
|
The emphasis of Managerial Accounting, 7e
is on teaching students to use accounting information to best manage an
organization. In a practice Hilton pioneered in the first edition, each
chapter is written around a realistic business or focus company that
guides the reader through the topics of that chapter. Known for balanced
examples of Service, Retail, Nonprofit and Manufacturing companies,
Hilton offers a clear, engaging writing style that has been praised by
instructors and students alike. As in previous editions, there is
significant coverage of contemporary topics such as activity-based
costing, target costing, the value chain, customer profitability
analysis, and throughput costing while also including traditional topics
such as job-order costing, budgeting and performance evaluation.

Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, and
Jaffe is a popular textbook that emphasizes the modern fundamentals of
the theory of finance, while providing contemporary examples to make the
theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the
working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions, rather
than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts
of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets,
agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and
use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and
application. The well-respected author team is known for their clear,
accessible presentation of material that makes this text an excellent
teaching tool.

Techniques of Financial Analysis with
Financial Genome Passcode Card, 11th Edition
Erich A. Helfert, Helfert & Associates
Softcover with access card ©2003, ISBN-13
9780072826326 MHID 0072826320The unique,
central concept of Techniques of Financial Analysis is the “business
system,” an effective and intuitive way of visualizing the key areas of
the typical business organization, and the related investment,
operating, and financing decisions that drive its performance and value.
This cash flow model (see Chapter 1) serves as the basic structure to
which all analytical concepts and tools are related, so that the student
is always aware of the larger operational and strategic context in which
these techniques should be applied to properly understand the process of
successful value creation in a business. Such contextual insight is
critical in a specialized subject like financial analysis, which is
generally taught in a dry, accounting-oriented fashion. The presentation
has always been kept up to date and is carefully designed to help the
reader visualize the linkage between management decisions and financial
performance and value. Very importantly, the book demonstrates the
modern requirement to distinguish between cash flow (economic) and
accounting-based analysis. It helps the reader to interpret financial
reports, develop integrated financial projections, understand basic
financial modeling, evaluate business investment decisions, develop the
implications of financing choices, derive the value of a business or a
security, and understand the support role of economic analysis in
achieving shareholder value creation. Every technique and measure is
described and demonstrated in the context of the underlying key
financial and economic concepts, but without delving into theoretical
abstraction.
