Horngren | ACCOUNTING

Welcome to the Companion Website for Introduction to Financial Accounting, Second Canadian Edition. This book takes the view that business is an exciting process and that accounting is the perfect window through which to understand how economic events affect business. Simple concepts are introduced early and revisited at more complex levels as the reader gains sophistication and understanding.
