For courses in Introductory Accounting

Essentials of Accounting is a workbook that provides a self-teaching and self-paced introduction to financial accounting for active users of business data. This text presents the ideas and terminology essential to understanding balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows in a unique format that enables students to study and learn with ease.

The Essentials of Accounting is best used when paired with the Core Concepts of Accounting 10/e which captures the full text (but not the programmed approach) of Essentials of Accounting, 10/e, while including important accounting concepts and terms.

The tenth edition of this text now features a new chapter on International Financial Reporting Standards, DuPont analysis, updated detail on Statement of Cash Flows and new mini-cases.
