Title overview

Managerial Accounting explores how financial data and analysis are used to make business decisions. Award-winning authors Wendy Tietz and Karen Braun home in on data analysis and Excel® skills as key competencies for sound accounting practices. By drawing on actual accounting examples from well-known companies, they keep the material engaging, practical and relevant.

The 8th Edition introduces new financial analysis problems and more in-depth data analytics projects, expanding options across skill levels. You’ll weigh the impact of AI on businesses and evaluate the accounting decisions of newly referenced companies, from Ford and Etsy to Sphere Entertainment. End-of-chapter problems progress from simple to more rigorous, moving from concept mastery to hands-on data analytics.
