by Ramji Balakrishnan, Geoff Sprinkle, Shiva Sivaramakrishnan
Now in its third edition, Balakrishnan’s text builds on its highly
successful integrated framework approach. Students are exposed to the
driving principles of managerial accounting through careful explanations
and current examples. From there, the authors carefully link up each of
the principles to the “bigger picture,” and by tying the two together,
students garner a deeper understanding of the materials. Another
outstanding feature of the book is its continued emphasis on how to use
accounting information in the decision-making process. With more data
available than ever before, students need to know how to approach, break
down, and use what is relevant when making the best choices.
