Book Description

In order to stimulate critical thinking, the authors Needles, Powers, and Crossson present an interactive pedagogy that makes use of real-world situations to illustrate accounting principles. The revisions made to the eleventh edition of Principles of Financial Accounting were based on an in-depth analysis of the culture, nature, and motivations of today's college students, as well as on significant feedback from their teachers. These significant alterations cater to the requirements of college students, who not only have to contend with a business world that is becoming more complicated as a result of globalization, ethical issues, and technology, but also have a greater number of competing priorities competing for their time.

This is done to assist the students in meeting the issues that they will face. Built on top of a solid pedagogy that has stood the test of time, this eleventh edition exhibits improved transaction analysis and its link to the accounting cycle.

Students are taught using a tried and true method that is based on correct accounting principles and sufficient technical depth to ensure that they have a firm grasp of fundamental accounting ideas.
