Product Description Fundamentals of Financial Accounting, 1e, by Phillips/Libby/Libby presents an engaging, balanced, and appropriately paced analysis of the fundamentals of financial accounting. Its conversational writing style and selection of focus companies make it a real pleasure to read and learn about accounting, while also learning about the business activities of your students’ favorite companies. Balance between preparer and user orientations is achieved throughout the entire book. Three of the first five chapters are focused inside the company on the accounting system, whereas the other two examine financial reporting from the perspective of decision makers outside the company. Thereafter, every chapter integrates these inside/outside perspectives by studying the accounting activities that take place inside the company and evaluating their impact on users outside the company. Topic coverage is paced appropriately for students new to accounting, and is reinforced at each step by self-study quizzes. Add to this the coaches who offer tips and other advice throughout each chapter, and you have the type of text that your students crave. FFA is simply the most student-friendly financial book on the market. Look throughout each chapter and you will soon see what is suggested by the image on the textbook’s cover - the closer you look the more you’ll understand. | ||

Great for beginners It was my first year taking an accounting course and this textbook was very helpful. It offers tips and suggestions to help you remember certain formulas/ratios. It even offers practice quizzes to test your knowledge to see whether or not you understand each chapter and what it is discussing. | ||
An easy to understand accounting text is not an oxymoron! I am a professor of accounting at a community college. If you have the opportuntity to use this accounting text consider yourself blessed. It is easy to understand and actually interesting, qualitites not often used to describe accounting texts. I highly recommend it. | ||
My dad loves it. My dad said this was the easiest book he ever read. And he hates to read! | ||
