Summary
"Teaching and learning accounting would be simple if life were simple and if the business world were simple. Of course, life and business are full of complexities. Even more confounding, life and business scenarios are a whole new world to most accounting students. Our Team for Success guides students into their future world with their skillful presentation of principles, insights and applications." "We believe that the author team of Paul Kimmel, Jerry Weygandt, and Donald Kieso is the accounting student's best ally in rising to accounting's academic challenges. They bring not only knowledge and experience, but exceptional communication skills. Most of all, they are inspired teachers who are always looking for ways to help students engage, learn, and emerge as winners."--BOOK JACKET.
