College Accounting provides solid coverage of basic bookkeeping and accounting skills. With a careful development of topics, Heintz/Parry is a book that provides basic bookkeeping and accounting skills that can easy be used in the real world.-- This book uses a continuing example to aid in reader comprehension. First comes a sole-proprietorship, service-oriented business, then a sole-proprietorship retail business and finally, in the last chapters, a corporate retail and manufacturing example.-- Readers benefit from repeated exposure to important concepts and techniques.-- Modules at the end of specific chapters expose the reader to the way computers are used in accounting today. One, for instance, explains the differences between a manual and computerized system.-- Scattered throughout the book, the margin notes provide additional insight into accounting issues.
