Survey of Accounting,7th edition, is designed to cover both financial and managerial accounting topics in a one-semester non-major course. The book focuses on decision-making by employing a Horizontal Financial Statements Model to show students how each business event impacts the financial statements. Managerial chapters focus on using the information to make business decisions. Edmonds' unique approach shifts the focus from memorizing procedures to developing real-world thinking patterns and is easy for students to understand. The book offers the most comprehensive set of instructional videos on the market including an author-created video and quiz for each learning objective. The 7th edition also includes all-new resources such as Self-Study review problem videos to walk students through a comprehensive problem at the end of each chapter, an expanded number of guided example videos to assist students with end-of-chapter exercises, brief exercises that focus on one learning objective at a time, and career readiness features such as assignable Tableau Dashboard Activities, Integrated Excel Exercises, and Critical Thinking problems that build student familiarity and skills with tools that are commonplace in business and accounting practices today. These pedagogical innovations and supplementary materials have made the Edmonds content a popular choice.
