Welcome to Introduction to Accounting and Finance. The authors' goal is to clearly and concisely provide you with an overview of the accounting and finance disciplines. Accounting and finance are necessary tools for anyone wishing to succeed in business, and knowledge of these two important business areas will enable you to contribute more effectively to your organization and improve your managerial skills.
Students are often intimidated by, or bored with, the subjects of accounting and finance. Confusing terminology, over reliance on very large numbers, mathematical elegance, and a slavish devotion to detail cloud the value of these vital, and dare we say, interesting, subjects. This book is unlike conventional treatments of finance and accounting. Instead, it focuses on important conceptual topics and avoids mathematical complexity as much as possible.
In a mere seven chapters, the authors cover what they believe are the key accounting and finance concepts you will need to succeed as a manager. It starts with an overview of accounting and finance, followed by six chapters each focusing on a specific accounting and finance topic, such as financial statement analysis and investing activities. The material is structured to help you meet each chapter's learning objectives, presented at the beginning of each chapter. Other learning features are key terms and definitions, discussion questions and exercises, comprehensive problems, and case studies.
The authors' vision for this book is simple: every business student should understand the role that accounting and finance play in business and society, and while very few of us need to know (or even care) about the minutia inherent in these detailed disciplines, Introduction to Accounting and Finance will provide you with glimpses into the lives of the professionals who do.
