Financial Accounting, the first course in the accounting curriculum, helps lay the foundation for business students’ future courses as well as the rest of their careers. Williams/Haka/Bettner/Carcello, Financial Accounting, 13e has the tools students need to master critical concepts and set the stage for their futures:

Real-World Perspective—Cutting edge topics are integrated into Financial Accounting through the new Ethics, Fraud & Corporate Governance feature found within the text material and in the end-of-chapter cases. The Home Depot 2005 Financial Statements, packaged with the text and included in an appendix, puts real world financial material in students’ hands.

Practice Makes Perfect—An Alternate Set of Problems in each chapter augments the wide variety of end-of-chapter material available. The thirteenth edition also includes new Brief Exercises, Discussion Questions, Self-Tests, Exercises, Problems and a diverse assortment of Cases—including Ethics, Fraud & Corporate Governance, Business Week, and Internet cases! McGraw-Hill’s Homework Manager adds even greater value to the end-of-chapter material by offering an algorithmically-based way to deliver more exercises and problems for student practice, assigning and grading homework and tests, and beyond.

Accounting Cycle Presentation—The first five chapters of Financial Accounting present clear, visual coverage of the accounting cycle, taking students through the four-step process involved in all business transactions. The accounting equation appears in the margin alongside these illustrations to further students’ understanding of this critical concept.
