Financial and Managerial Accounting 9th Edition

Financial and Managerial Accounting: Information for Decisions, Ninth Edition by John J. Wild and Ken W. Shaw — Published by McGraw Hill

This market-leading text provides students with a solid foundation in both financial and managerial accounting while keeping them engaged through a clear, student-friendly writing style and a strong emphasis on the relevance of accounting information to real-world business decisions. Rather than presenting accounting as an isolated set of rules and procedures, Wild and Shaw consistently connect every concept to how actual businesses use financial information to make decisions — giving students the insight they need to understand and apply accounting in any organizational context.

The Ninth Edition delivers a streamlined, accessible approach to the full scope of accounting — from the accounting cycle, financial statements, and asset and liability accounting through cost behavior, budgeting, performance evaluation, and capital budgeting. Real company examples and financial statements drawn from well-known businesses ground the material in authentic practice, while a consistent decision-making framework reinforces the relevance of every concept covered.
