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.
