See all formats and editions
Porter and Norton's real-world approach in FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING: THE IMPACT ON DECISION MAKERS, 7/Ed, gives you an up-close perspective on how accounting truly affects businesses today. You will explore an appropriate "focus company" with each chapter, applying accounting principles in the context of that company's specific financial information and business strategy, giving you the real-world experience with financial data you need to succeed in business. Numerous Examples throughout the text are tied to end-of-chapter homework to allow easier completion of assignments and guided study for exams. Further, Porter and Norton's student-friendly, step-by-step decision framework guides you through a 6-step process on how to effectively use financial information early in the course, laying a stronger foundation for the more complex concepts to follow. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING: THE IMPACT ON DECISION MAKERS, 7/e, goes beyond typical texts that drill on the numbers and procedures to address additional important issues, such as ethical dilemmas in business decisions and alternate terms you may encounter in the business world. This edition includes a discussion of the current environment of financial reporting, specifically the International Financial Reporting Standards.

I rated this 5 stars - but I am rating the vendor, not the item. They are so friendly and helpful. It turned out this was the incorrect textbook, and I had to return it. The response from the vendor was very quick, and very helpful. The refund was processed as soon as the textbook was received. I appreciate their understanding in the error (the school gave me the wrong ISBN) and their prompt attention to this matter. I would definitely purchase items from this vendor again. Thank you!!

I was expecting a hardback as was described about the product. I received loose leafed pages that had to be put in a three ringed binder. Other than that, the book served its purpose and arrived in good condition.
