Reviews

Introductory Accounting is a breath of fresh air in the accounting library. It dares to depart from the well-trodden path of introductory accounting texts by presenting accounting as a solution to a societal problem, beyond a set of rules. Tinkelman's problem-solving approach to accounting measurement, carefully embedded in research, will appeal to instructors and students, alike.-Shyam Sunder, Yale School of Management, USA In this innovative accounting text, Tinkelman combines financial accounting with managerial, introduces relevant research, and organizes topics better than other books. Introductory Accounting should be seriously considered for adoption by any accounting instructor.-Leonard N. Stern School of Business, NYU, USA Tinkelman's Introductory Accounting is thoughtful and lucidly written, an admirable synthesis of the accounting profession's longstanding concerns with accounting measurement and modern social science. It provides an intellectually broadminded yet practical foundation in financial and managerial accounting for managers.-Stephen G. Ryan, Stern School of Business, New York University, USA
