Feature Summary
The comprehensive continuous case approach has been retained because
it provides students with the ability to see how each successive step affects
the financial reporting model of an entity. The Peerless Products and Special
Foods case is robust and serves as a foundation for the very successful building-block
approach used in the text.
Although each chapter has been revised to some extent to reflect recent
FASB and GASB standards, as well as seeking even more focused discussion and
presentations, extensive efforts were made to retain the clear writing
style in the text that adopters and reviewers have valued very highly.
Extensive illustrations of the topics in each chapter assist the
students' learning efforts by providing clear and complete examples of worksheets
with all eliminating entries presented, financial statements, and schedules
to serve as comprehensive contexts for the topics being discussed.
Cases at the end of each chapter requiring students to write essay-type
responses in response to alternative viewpoints, or justify a specific accounting
choice made. Students are asked to explain their reasoning and often are asked
to use library or internet research tools and materials in support of their
answers. These cases require students to go beyond the computational level
in addressing the topics in Advanced Financial Accounting.
The end-of-chapter materials have been enhanced while also retaining the
wide variety of homework materials for which the text is known.
