Preface
Welcome to the third edition of Financial Accounting and, to adopters of the first and second
editions, thank you for the great success those editions have enjoyed. We wrote this book to
equip students with the accounting techniques and insights necessary to succeed in today's
business environment. It reflects our combined experience in teaching financial accounting to college
students at all levels. For anyone who pursues a career in business, the ability to read, analyze, and
interpret published financial reports is an essential skill. Financial Accounting is written for future
business leaders who want to understand how financial statements are prepared and how the information
in published financial reports is used by investors, creditors, financial analysts, and managers.
Our goal is to provide the most engaging, relevant, and accessible textbook available.
