This classic text for MBA programs offers balanced coverage of concepts, methods, and uses of managerial accounting with an increasingly strong emphasis on management decision-making. This approach helps to focus on concepts and managerial uses of financial information rather than techniques of cost accounting. The current edition emphasizes international issues, strategic effect of decisions, ethics, and the inclusion of new management accounting trends. Also emphasized are process improvement, integration of financial reporting issues for management decision-making, and application of managerial accounting tools to the emerging service sector, government, and nonprofits in examples and problem material.

The Seventh Edition of Hermanson/Edwards/Maher continues its tradition as a solid, teachable text. Known for its informal writing style and use of the active voice, ACCOUNTING has earned a loyal following. The book has 18 chapters devoted to financial accounting, and 8 chapters covering managerial accounting. The "user orientation" will be retained, with an emphasis on the uses of financial statements, early introduction of cash flow, and integration of financial ratios. The corporate approach remains the focus.

Hilton/Maher/Selto (HMS) addresses traditional cost concepts, but makes cost accounting functional by focusing on measuring and managing costs. HMS maintains that, 'Costs don't just happen', and with a pro-active approach toward costs, accountants can add value to an organization. The real-world approach of this text, including the use of focus companies and the accompanying focus sites, provides a realistic business environment, and aids in student comprehension and interest in the subject.
