Financial Accounting, Version 3.0 is suitable for financial accounting courses at the undergraduate or MBA level.

Financial Accounting leverages an effective question-and-answer format to structure the narrative and engage students in a practical, inquiry-based form of learning. Carefully developed to follow the standard scope and sequence of the typical financial accounting course, this textbook encourages students to think like accountants, rather than simply memorize operations. Learners are exposed to the basic principles of financial accounting while also developing an appreciation for its importance and logic so they can make prudent business decisions.

New in This Version

  • New chapter-opening videos recorded by new coauthor, Leah Kratz.
  • Many of the real-world case examples that bring the book to life are refreshed or replaced.
  • Revised and increased the number of end-of-chapter items, culled dated questions, and generally upgraded item quality.
  • Updated coverage conforms to changes in the U.S. GAAP (e.g. revenue recognition, lease accounting, and equity marketable securities held for sale).
