Delivered in partnership with Helios Digital Learning, these multimedia e-cases illustrate fraud and ethical principles using real-life characters, experiences, and stories. Narratives speak to students, not at them, creating an immersive and engaging learning experience through which students acquire, retain, discuss, and integrate important course concepts and ethical lessons.

Located next to every journal entry, they reinforce the connections between recording a transaction and the effect those transactions have on the accounting equation.

Located in the text’s margin next to where the answer or clarification can be found, they help students better understand difficult concepts.
  • Try It! exercises found after each learning objective give students opportunities to apply the concept they’ve just learned by completing an accounting problem. Links to these exercises appear throughout the eText, allowing students to practice in MyAccountingLab without interruption.

This feature provides a brief review of each learning objective presented in a question and answer format. Students can also link to multimedia materials from within the Enhanced eText.
  • Chapter Openers present relatable stories that set up the concepts to be covered in the chapter. The implications of those concepts on a company’s reporting and decision-making processes are then discussed.
  • The redesign includes clean and consistent art for T-accounts, journal entries, financial statements and the accounting equation. New art types include clear explanations and connection arrows to help students follow the transaction process.
  • Decisions boxes highlight common questions that business owners face, prompting students to determine the course of action they would take based on concepts covered in the chapter.
  • IFRS icons provide guidance on how International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) differs from U.S. GAAP throughout the financial chapters.
