Introductory Accounting

Accurate accounting is the key to a successful business. But when you’re dealing with assets and liabilities, profit and loss, and debits and credits, juggling all the numbers can quickly get confusing. Introductory Accounting gives you everything you need to know about basic financial accounting to manage your dollars and cents and keep your accounts in order. Ideal for small businesses, as well as any large company bookkeeper, this book covers: • Structuring your business and choosing an accounting method. • Setting up an accounting system and basic operating procedures (tracking sales, determining costs, managing cash, etc.). • Creating employee records, maintaining a payroll system, and accounting for benefits. • Keeping tax and benefit records. • Reporting costs. • Closing out cash journals and employee accounts at month-end and balancing ledgers. • Preparing month-end and year-end statements and reports. • Producing a balance sheet and monthly profit-and-loss (P&L) statements. • Using accounting software.

Introductory Accounting adopts a measurement approach to teaching graduate students the basics of accounting. Integrating both financial and managerial principles from the U.S. and around the globe, it links accounting to other areas of business (such as finance, operations, and management). Providing students with the context to understand how and why accounting is a valuable part of business, readers will gain an understanding of accounting’s role in financial analysis and managerial decision-making. Tinkelman discusses accounting as an imperfect measurement system, offering guidance on how quantitative data can benefit analysts and managers when used with an understanding of its limitations. The book is strongly grounded in research, and also draws on plenty of examples and cases to bring these issues to life. The conversational style of Introductory Accounting will appeal to MBA students, while key terms and illustrative problems make assignments easy for instructors. Additional materials for students and instructors are available on the book’s companion website.
