Based on the best-selling text by the same author team, College Accounting, A Contemporary Approach, 4/e is a streamlined version of the text designed for instructors who teach the course without covering special journals. The authors represent the breadth of educational environments--a community college, a career school, and a four-year university--ensuring that the text is appropriate for all student populations. Throughout, they have adhered to a common philosophy about textbooks: they should be readable, contain many opportunities for practice, and be able to make accounting relevant for all.
