Features
Unlike traditional encyclopedic texts, Revsine, Collins, and Johnson eliminate minutia and
focus on the core topics. The authors explain how to prepare a financial statement, and
combine this explanation of preparation with an analysis of what the numbers truly mean.
Only Revsine, Collins, and Johnson combine preparation and analysis to provide your
students with both the how and the why behind the numbers. Your students will be able to
approach financial statements with confidence and know-how.
Every manager has incentives to present his or her firm in the most favorable light to
lenders, equity investors and others. And, every manager wants to use the flexibility
allowed by GAAP to manage the firms earnings to achieve certain goals. Revsine, Collins,
and Johnson explain these incentives and help students spot cases of earnings management,
which disguises a firms true performance.
