Instructor Information

Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):

Students with varying backgrounds want to see the big picture and understand the “why” behind the foundations of financial accounting, as many will go on to use accounting information to make real-world business decisions. With Financial Accounting for Managers, 1e, our authors have developed a unique set of materials that fully engage all students, creating those “Aha!” moments- all based directly on their own experiences instructing students of all majors. 

Using a measurement, communication, and decision-making framework, Financial Accounting for Managers, 1e forms a solid foundation for student learning, and its three-part flexible structure builds chapters from fundamentals to expanded topics, with debits & credits presented in an alternate format to easily cover, de-emphasize, or remove without disruption. This level of flexibility allows every instructor the ability to design their course, their way. With their thoughtful focus on relevancy and real-world connections, the authors explore the financials of more than 100 companies, and spotlight over 100 cases from a variety of industries. Paired with the immense support material within Connect, students of all backgrounds are enveloped in a learning environment created for student success, regardless of accounting background.
