Title overview

Survey of Accounting aims to provide you, no matter your major, with essential knowledge of the role of financial and managerial accounting. Requiring no prior knowledge of accounting, the text seeks to instill the judgment and decision-making skills needed to plan and operate a business. Chapters are organized by financial and managerial content, featuring the small business perspective and the manager’s point of view, respectively.

In addition to learning how to read, understand and analyze accounting data, you’ll explore how managers, investors and employees use accounting information to make decisions. In doing so, you’ll build the financial literacy skills needed to confidently make your own decisions, both professionally and personally.
