Accounting, Textbook
G-W Accounting is a contemporary text that presents a solid framework for learning accounting. The fresh, new approach gets “back to basics” by presenting small chunks of learning followed by immediate reinforcement. The single-column format, with open white space, improves student comprehension of accounting concepts. Strategically placed features add interest without distracting from the learning experience. And, most importantly, the content is specifically written at an age-appropriate reading and understandability level.
