David Spiceland – författare

Don’t you love those moments in your course when students are fully engaged? When the “Aha!” revelations are bursting like fireworks? Financial Accounting by Spiceland, Thomas, and Herrmann brings together best practices to engage your students by: (1) Building a framework for financial accounting focused on measurement, communication, and decision making; (2) reinforcing the framework in each chapter’s text and end-of-chapter assignments; and (3) enriching that framework using data analytics tools, Excel assignments, General Ledger problems, and a variety of auto-graded cases involving ethics, earnings management, and real-world companies, all communicated in a student-friendly, conversational writing style. The market-leading success of this text will motivate, engage, and challenge students—it will illuminate the financial accounting course like never before. Other books in the Spiceland/Thomas series include Intermediate Accounting and Financial Accounting for Managers.

Financial Accounting for Managers gives the flexibility to emphasize or deemphasize debits and credits in an undergraduate or graduate course by providing a modular structure to fit different course lengths, approaches, and assignments that can be easily filtered to fit the needs of individual instructor teaching styles. Each business transaction throughout the text is illustrated with its effects on the balance sheet and income statement. The focus prepares students to be business managers who understand how accounting information reveals a company’s profitability, risk, and efficiency of operations. When paired with Connect, it has student success resources that include auto-graded cases, Tableau Dashboard Activities, Integrated Excel, multiple video types, Guided Examples, General Ledger Problems, and SmartBook, an adaptive reading and practice tool for students.
