For survey of accounting courses.

A foundation in accounting, for success in business

Survey of Accounting aims to provide all students, no matter their major, with essential knowledge of the role of financial and managerial accounting. Requiring no prior knowledge of accounting, the text seeks to instill the judgment and decision-making skills needed to plan and operate a business.

In addition to learning how to read, understand and analyze accounting data, students explore how managers, investors and employees use accounting information to make decisions. In doing so, they build the financial literacy skills needed to confidently make their own decisions, both professionally and personally.
