High School Accounting Textbooks

Introduction to Accounting: Concepts and Applications is designed for the non-accounting manager who must have an understanding of financial and managerial accounting as it is used in decision making. The textbook provides an accessible introduction to accounting for students coming to the subject for the first time. It embraces the basic techniques and underlying theoretical concepts in accounting and shows how these are applied in various circumstances.

Students learn about annual reports, financial statements, balance sheet accounts and accounting transactions. The focus is on how accounting information is used in decision making, not on the mechanics behind that accounting information. A full introduction and practice of the accounting cycle will be presented, followed by accounting application topics used in business today. Application topics include cash management, fraud prevention, receivables analysis, depreciation basics, payroll, financial statement analysis and more.
