Infos

Integrates edited cases in a student accessible format. All legal terms are defined when first introduced in the text. To aid the reader in putting the cases in context and to address some of the AACSB requirements, most cases begin with either a "Historical Setting" or a "Company Profile". This text meets all AACSB curriculum standards, and addresses those topics covered on the CPA exam. Also, for those that plan to take the CPA exam, there is an additional CPA supplement. An interactive CD-ROM edition is also available. The CD-ROM can be used either as a stand alone item or in conjunction with the text. Along with the inclusion of the entire text, the CD-ROM includes many enhancements such as video , advanced topics as enrichment materials, the availability of full case presentations, built-in study guide, and a notebook function which the students can use to make their own notes.
