![]() ![]() Otherwise, the main concepts and flow of the book are very similar to most accounting textbooks, beginning with sole proprietorships and discussing inventory, payroll, etc. So this text focuses on sole proprietorships and LLCs and only briefly discusses partnerships. ![]() The authors omitted partnerships after surveying users and nonusers of their text because many small business owners do not operate as partnerships, but rather LLCs. The reason for this omission is explained in the first chapter. The organization of the text is similar to most accounting textbooks I have used in the past, except for there is an omission of partnerships as a separate topic. Each section has its own set of questions to check for knowledge. ![]() Information is given in small chunks of information, with exhibits and real world examples mixed into the reading material. The content is organized and easy-to-read. I have my students work in small groups almost every day, so these short, content-specific group ideas will be useful for face-to-face classes or online group discussions. Key terms, questions, exercises, problems, case questions and group problems come at the end of the chapter. The book is consistent from chapter to chapter, with objectives coming first, then moving into the content. ![]() The exhibits, however, seem to be very good and informational. I am not sure if this can be changed, but different colors of font or highlights might be appropriate when a new account or process is being displayed in the exhibit. The “Business Insight” areas of the text could lose relevance as companies leave the marketplace, but most appear to be currently relevant.Īll exhibits are in black and white. Sometimes a book loses credibility if it appears to be out of date, so the book could be updated to use 20XX to have the appearance of being up to date. The year 2010 is used in most of the exhibits. I don’t see any areas of concern when it comes to accuracy. The text also explains how all stakeholders in the business can benefit from accounting knowledge. Explanations for how the content can be used to improve business processes are beneficial to learning. For example, quality management is a topic that can be found repeatedly in this text. For a beginner’s guide, the depth of knowledge is outstanding in this text. It appears to be a good reference guide for someone to learn about how accounting is used in the business world. This is a book that explains a variety of financial accounting concepts, then dabbles in managerial accounting concepts toward the end of the book.
