Survey of Accounting

by Christopher Edmonds, Christopher Edmonds, Philip Olds

Survey of Accounting,7th edition, is designed to cover both financial and managerial accounting topics in a one-semester non-major course. The book focuses on decision-making by employing a Horizontal Financial Statements Model to show students how each business event impacts the financial statements. Managerial chapters focus on using the information to make business decisions. Edmonds’ unique approach shifts the focus from memorizing procedures to developing real-world thinking patterns and is easy for students to understand. The book offers the most comprehensive set of instructional videos on the market including an author-created video and quiz for each learning objective. The 7th edition also includes all-new resources such as Self-Study review problem videos to walk students through a comprehensive problem at the end of each chapter, an expanded number of guided example videos to assist students with end-of-chapter exercises, brief exercises that focus on one learning objective at a time, and career readiness features such as assignable Tableau Dashboard Activities, Integrated Excel Exercises, and Critical Thinking problems that build student familiarity and skills with tools that are commonplace in business and accounting practices today. These pedagogical innovations and supplementary materials have made the Edmonds content a popular choice.

Wish the book did a better job of explaining and showing how to work out the journal entries and problems. Also, very dry read.

The opposite of exciting..
not that everything has to be overtly exciting but..this is the opposite of that also.Reading this book is like trying to escape a tender conversation with an OLD person @ smack dab midday.. you know they have nothing else to do all day after probably having finished walking around an empty park so torture.. torture..TORTURE!. Oh yeah if you can't sleep at night try this book your eyes will jump out from your pretty face and run into the closet straight into your shirt pockets (yes I typed into twice). Don't drive and read this book. Driving and reading is criminal but driving and reading this book is diabolical as doing so will bring about the next apocalypse of candy coated nothingness. Think of your favorite activity and this book is pretty much the ruination of such activity like a nuclear dawn on your picnic blanket fringe. Unless you like accounting then this book is pretty much ACE.. although I suspect it might not be..
