The NEW Burnley Understanding FinancialAccounting Canadian Edition offers a fresh approach toteaching introductory accounting. It is conceptual, concise andconcrete. Chapters are structured using a list of questionsthat focus on the core concepts covered by the chapter. Thesequestions allow the material to be broken into smaller components,with students able to see more explicitly how each question isaddressed and how that content fits into the chapter as a whole.This enables students to see the connections between the contentmore clearly. They can then read less but understand more and comeaway with a deeper understanding of the content.
This new text, built upon the foundation of our Hoskin FinancialAccounting text is more succinct, more student friendly, and morevisual. The chapters have been authored keeping the needs ofinternational students in mind. It is very readable, withclear technical explanations. All the things students want,things that will enable them to read less but understand more.
For faculty, the core concept questions provide a platform uponwhich to open classroom discussions and offer a more direct linkagebetween the material in the text and narrative orpresentation–based assessments. There are also more chartsand more graphs to support classroom discussion.
