Instructor Information

Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):

Accounting for Decision Making and Control provides students and managers with an understanding appreciation of the strengths and limitations of an organizations accounting system, thereby allowing them to be more intelligent users of these systems. Zimmerman provides students with a framework for understanding accounting systems and a basis for analyzing proposed changes to these systems.

Consistent with prior editions, the goal of the new 10th edition of Zimmerman strives to demonstrate to students that Managerial Accounting is an integral part of the firm’s organizational architecture, not just an isolated set of computational topics.

He was the 1978 winner of the Competitive Manuscript Award, sponsored by the American Accounting Association, for his paper, "The Costs and Benefits of Cost Allocation."
