Confirming Pages A TR U STED LEADER FOR The award-winning author team of Bob Libby, Pat Libby, and Dan Short has made Financial Accounting a best-selling textbook by helping the instructor and student become partners in learning. Libby/Libby/Short uses a remarkable learning approach that keeps students engaged and involved in the material from the first day of class. Libby/Libby/Short’s Financial Accounting maintains its leadership by focusing on three key attributes: THE PIONEERING FOCUS COMPANY APPROACH: The Libby/Libby/Short authors’ trademark focus company approach is the best method for helping students understand financial statements and the real-world implications of financial accounting for future managers. This approach shows that account- ing is relevant and motivates students by explaining accounting in a real-world context. Throughout each chapter, the material is integrated around a familiar focus company, its decisions, and its financial statements. This provides the perfect set- ting for discussing the importance of accounting and how businesses use accounting information. A BUILDING-BLOCK APPROACH TO TEACHING TRANSACTION ANALYSIS: Most faculty agree that mastery of the accounting cycle is critical to success in finan- cial accounting. And yet all other financial books introduce and develop transaction analysis in one chapter, bombarding a student early in the course with an overload of new concepts and terms. The authors believe that most faculty take more time with the accounting cycle, but other financial accounting textbooks don’t. By slowing down the introduction of transactions and giving students time to practice and gain mastery, this building-block approach leads to greater student success in their study of later topics in financial accounting such as adjusting entries. POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND STUDY: Students have different learning styles and conflicting time commitments, so they want technology tools that will help them study more efficiently and effectively. The 7th edition includes even more technology features, including McGraw-Hill Connect Accounting, Self-Quiz and Study, and Tegrity Campus. See pages xiv–xviii for more details.

Confirming Pages STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS “Libby, Libby, Short does a great job in explaining financial accounting concepts at a level that introductory students can grasp and understand.” —Marci Butterfield, University of Utah “The text has some of the best discussions that I have seen in introductory texts of statement of cash flows and financial statement analysis topics.” —Marilyn Misch, Pepperdine University “A solid textbook with a decision-making focus.” —Chao-Shin Liu, Notre Dame “The book does an excellent job of using real- world examples to highlight the importance of understanding financial accounting to students who may or may not be interested in pursuing accounting careers. One challenge with traditional courses and textbooks is that students who might not be interested in accounting careers lose interest quickly. I think this book will hold their attention, without sacrificing the technical information that provides the foundation for further accounting coursework. Exceptionally well written and nicely organized.” —Paul Hribar, University of Iowa V lliibb1111002211__ffmm__ii--xxxxxxvviiii..iinndddd VV 2277//0077//1100 1100::4411 AAMM Confirming Pages MARKET-LEADING PEDAGOGY Financial Accounting, 7e, offers a host of pedagogical tools that complement the different ways you like to teach and the ways your students like to learn. Some offer information and tips that help you present a complex subject; others highlight issues relevant to what your students read online or see on television. Either way, Financial Accounting ’s pedagogical support will make a real difference in your course and in your students’ learning.

Since 2002, there has been substantial movement toward the adoption of International Fi- nancial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Examples of jurisdictions requiring the use of IFRS either currently or by 2012 include. In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission now allows foreign companies whose stock is traded in the United States. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS BOXES—These features tie important chapter concepts to real-world decision-making examples. They also highlight alternative viewpoints and add to the critical-thinking and decision-making focus of the text. A QUESTION OF ETHICS BOXES—These boxes appear throughout the text, conveying the importance and the consequences of acting responsibly in business practice. KEY RATIO ANALYSIS BOXES—Each box presents ratio analysis for the focus com- pany in the chapter as well as for comparative companies. Cautions are also provided to help students understand the limitations of certain ratios. FOCUS ON CASH FLOWS BOXES—Each of the first twelve chapters includes a discus- sion and analysis of changes in the cash flow of the focus company and explores the decisions that caused those changes. INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE BOXES—These boxes highlight the emergence of glo- bal accounting standards (IFRS) at a level appropriate for the introductory student.
