Data Analytics & Excel Skill Development for Career Readiness

The basics of accounting haven’t changed much in hundreds of years, but businesses have experienced significant change in the last decade due to the increased use of new technologies ranging from data analytics and Blockchain to machine learning and artificial intelligence. Technology is rapidly altering how accounting is performed and what can be done with the data once they are collected. In response to the changing demands of the business world, the AACSB has incorporated data analytics requirements within its educational framework. More recently, the AICPA and NASBA have underscored the importance of data analytics by making it a significant element in the CPA Evolution Model Curriculum. The consensus suggests that today’s business students need an understanding and working knowledge of data analytics and data visualization to compete for the best jobs.

In addition to data analytics skills, employers expect prospective employees to be proficient with Excel. In recognition of the increasing importance of data analytics and the need for Excel proficiency, the third edition includes several new features to enhance students’ career readiness.

  • We include Data Analytics boxes throughout the text to expose students to techniques that are used by businesses in areas related to the topic being discussed. The following box is an example.


  • Each chapter includes assignments that require students to use Excel or Tableau to hone data analysis and data visualization skills.


  • New Appendix F, at the end of the book, provides an overview of data analytics, data visualization, and best practices for the effective display of data.


  • MBC now contains a series of short videos that demonstrate the basic functions of Excel. The videos can be accessed within MBC as part of your MBC course.

Welcome to the Third Edition of Financial & Managerial Accounting for Undergraduates!


"THE MOST COMPELLING VALUE PROPOSITION OFFERED IN THE FINANCIAL AND MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING MARKET!"

That has been our goal since this product’s inception, and we have made that value proposition even more compelling with the Third Edition of Financial & Managerial Accounting for Undergraduates. We created this product to satisfy the needs of students taking an introductory course in financial and managerial accounting by providing a high-quality, contemporary, and engaging textbook and online learning system at an affordable price. With a suggested retail price of $170 for the printed, full-color textbook that includes access to myBusinessCourse (MBC) for two terms, we challenge faculty to find a better overall value for their students. The digital version offers an even more compelling value.

Financial & Managerial Accounting for Undergraduates has become a best-seller, and should be considered for use it in your introductory financial and managerial accounting classes. Here's why:

  • Follows a pedagogy that encourages student success
  • Includes Data Analytics and Excel skill development for career readiness
  • Covers Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
  • Uses real-world examples
  • Includes CMA Examination questions
  • Optional technology that improves learning and complements faculty instruction is available.


Pedagogy That Encourages Student Success

Financial accounting can be challenging—especially for students lacking business experience or previous exposure to business courses. To help students succeed in the course, we use a number of pedagogical devices throughout the textbook, and we provide a wealth of resources through our online learning and homework system, myBusinessCourse (MBC).

  • The Past/Present/Future feature puts each chapter in context

  • Road Maps outline each chapter and provide a quick reference table that summarizes the print and digital resources for that chapter.

  • Your Turns provide hands-on practice for each major concept to ensure mastery of a topic before proceeding to the next concept.

  • We use color and other visual cues pedagogically to help students learn and retain important concepts.
  • Margin notes provide hints and identify commonly used alternative terms.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

Increasingly, companies have found that “doing good” leads to a more successful, profitable enterprise. Todays students are very engaged in the ESG movement, and we have incorporated ESG boxes and assignments to help students understand how corporate reporting on ESG is being embraced by forward-thinking enterprises as part of their long-term business models.


Real Company Examples

Students are more likely to engage in the learning process and retain the concepts taught if the examples used are real companies with which they are familiar. Throughout the textbook, we incorporate a wide range of examples using real companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Boeing, and the California State Bar. In addition, two companies are used consistently throughout the managerial accounting chapters. Environmental Business Consultants, LLC, is a fictitious consulting company that gives students an opportunity to apply what they have learned within the service industry; and Fezzari, which is a custom bike manufacturer. These two continuous examples allow students to apply new skills to familiar organizations as they move through the managerial accounting concepts in the text.


Service Industry in Focus

The service sector is the fastest growing segment of the U.S. economy. The Service Industry in Focus inserts help students understand how managerial accounting is applied to improve the competitiveness of service companies.


Accounting in Practice

These boxed inserts help students bridge the gap between the classroom and what students encounter in the real world. Accounting in Practice illustrations document situations a student will likely encounter and present choices that companies face in making decisions.

CMA® Examination Questions

The Certified Management Accountant (CMA®) is a professional certification administered by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA®). The purpose of the CMA certificate is to prepare accountants to be strategic thinkers and to analyze data in order to make better business decisions. We include past CMA questions at the end of each chapter. These questions will help students experience how concepts are applied in realistic business situations and give them an advantage if they choose to pursue a career in management accounting and become a CMA. CMA questions are identified by a CMA icon in the margin.


Additional Features

Throughout the text these additional features emphasize the relevance of the current business environment on accounting concepts:

  • Principle Alerts discuss upcoming or new accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting principles.
  • Forensic Accounting boxes highlight how financial accounting knowledge can help aid in the prevention of errors and fraud.
  • Thinking Globally boxes emphasize the similarities and differences in business practices between companies in the U.S. and companies in other countries.
  • Ethics is discussed where appropriate and select assignments raise ethical issues relevant to the material.


New to the Third Edition

  • Data Analytics: we have expanded Data Analytics coverage in this edition.
    • New Data Analytics boxes have been incorporated throughout the text. These boxes describe how Data Analytics is being used in business.
    • New Data Analytics and Data Visualization assignments using Excel and Tableau have been included in each chapter.
    • Appendix F on Data Analytics has been expanded to include an overview of data analytics, data visualization, and best practices for the effective display of data.
  • Environmental, Social, and Governance Reporting (ESG): Increasingly, companies have found that “doing good” leads to a more successful, profitable enterprise. A new introduction to ESG reporting is included in Chapter 1, and ESG boxes are incorporated throughout the text to help students understand how ESG is being embraced by forward-thinking enterprises as part of their long-term business models. New ESG reporting assignments have also been added to every chapter to reinforce the concepts presented.

  • Streamlining:  We edited many chapters and exhibits to reduce redundancy and increase clarity. We believe the flow of topics and their presentation have been meaningfully improved this edition.
  • Chapter 12 on the statement of cash flow has been revised to be more intuitive for students.
  • New chapter sequencing:  In the third edition, we introduce flexible budgets (now Chapter 23) before the discussion of standard costs and variance analysis (now Chapter 24) to improve the pedagogy and students’ learning.
  • New graphics and illustrations have been incorporated to convey key concepts.
  • Updated financial data throughout the text and assignments where real data is used.
  • The focus companies for five chapters have been changed:
    • Salesforce replaces Krispy Kreme in Chapter 3
    • Nike replaced Best Buy in Chapter 6
    • Luckin Coffee is new to Chapter 7
    • Tesla replaces MGM Resorts International in Chapter 8
