This volume is written for the future user of accounting information. While the
preparation of accounting information is an important skill, this text focuses on the
analysis of the information generated by the accounting system for both planning and
control decisions. For this reason, business majors and current and future managers should
benefit greatly from the material presented.
Accounting majors will also gain a better understanding of how accounting information is
used for effective planning and control within all types of organizations. The work has a
strong conceptual framework. The concepts of organization theory and opportunity cost
serve as the underlying framework to organize the analysis.
In the early chapters when planning decisions are being explored, opportunity cost
provides the foundation for this discussion. As the focus of the text moves to the control
function, discussions of organization theory provide the foundation. This strong
conceptual framework is supported by a CD-ROM that brings the material alive for the
students.
