While many texts characterize themselves as having either a "user" approach or a "preparer" approach, Williams' Financial Accounting is written for faculty who want to strike a balance between these approaches. Business majors will find relevance in the "Ethics, Fraud & Corporate Governance," "Your Turn" and "Case in Point" boxes throughout the chapters while accounting majors will receive a firm grounding in accounting basics that will prepare them for their intermediate course. A unique feature is the multimedia companion, My Mentor. This text-specific technology resource (available free on the book's website) uses video clips, animated graphics, PowerPoints and Excel templates to demonstrate accounting concepts visually. This allows students to link concepts and numbers together in an interactive rather than print environment.

Revised to include an improved balance of material on using and creating financial information, this 11th edition of the text provides examples from real-world companies and intergrates comprehensive accounting problems throughout the book.

This is a presentation of audit theory and practice. Written in understandable language, it is appropriate for students with little auditing experience. It presents auditing concepts and attempts to make the relationship between auditing and accounting understandable. Case studies, new to this edition, focus on specific industries to emphasize the importance of having a thorough knowledge of the audit client's business and end-of-chapter questions require students to use the Internet to perform audit research. The book also includes discussion of international auditing standards and adopts a balance-sheet approach to auditing.
