This financial accounting textbook is written for an undergraduate or MBA level Financial Accounting course.

Joe Ben Hoyle and CJ Skender are nationally recognized as outstanding teachers. In fact, BusinessWeek recently recognized both as top undergraduate professors. Their collective teaching wisdom shines in this book as their approach stresses understanding over memorization. This financial accounting textbook covers standard topics in a standard sequence, but does so through asking a carefully constructed series of questions along with their individual answers.

5 Reasons this Textbook Works:

1. Topics are broken down: Each question and its answer look at a specific piece of material. Material is presented as a clearly established series of steps rather than as a long flowing monologue.

2. It’s conversational: Virtually all experts agree that individuals learn better through give and take than they do through one-directional lectures.

3. Its logical sequence: Because students are being exposed to each new topic for the first time, they often have trouble making leaps of understanding that appear easy to a teacher (or a textbook author). The question and answer format provides an orderly method for creating an appropriate sequencing of material.

4. Its Q&A approach: ”Why did this technique work?“ ”Why is the calculation performed this way?“ ”Who really cares about this?“ A question and answer format leads to this type of educational presentation.

5. It’s clutter-free: Reducing the extraneous boxes and sidebars means students know exactly where to focus. At the end of each question and answer, there are links for students who wish to explore further.
