Introductory Financial Accounting, 9e provides a unique and perfect blend of robust financial statement analysis with early statement of cash flows coverage. It is directed at those who will analyze real financial statements, and make business decisions based upon that analysis. Real statements are used throughout (Starbucks). Statement of Cash Flows comes earlier in this book than most. Material is focused on analysis of financial statements — ratios introduced early and often, special “Portfolio” section provides a “road map” to financial statement analysis, and special section in end-of-chapter problems focuses on analyzing financial statements (using Starbucks financial statements). Features strong coverage of statement of cash flows (Ch 5) --an essential financial statement, one of growing importance, and should be regarded as a basic statement. For financial accountants.

This book was part of our text for the MBA program. Being an Engineer having no background in Accounting, this easy to understand book has been very helpful. The chapters build upon one another. One topic naturally leads to the other. The practice problems at the end of the chapter are very good for cementing the learning. The book is scattered with lots of real life examples and problems representing real companies. Buy this book with the solutions manual.

This book makes financial accounting pretty interesting, is easy to read, has good definitions which I think is hugely important for introductions to academic fields, and is organized pretty well. Note: It is not about how to do private or business tax accounting, but rather the fundamentals of financial accounting and financial statements as a whole.

Not very recommended for students with no prior accounting background. Doesn't explain all concepts very clearly, just jumps right into it...Great book if you have plenty of experience with accounting!

Used at Kellogg School for Financial accounting course. This book balances simplicity and complexity of accounting very well. Many real-world examples and tons of exercise problems are provided to reinforce concepts better. I would highly recommend this book to anyone new to Financial accounting.

I'm CEO of a medium size business and wanted a resource to teach me accounting. This is a great book, with plenty of assignments which fully reinforce the lessons. The only disappointment is that there are no solutions and the publisher only gives them to you if you are a registered teacher.
