Don’t you love those moments in your course when students are fully engaged? When the “Aha!”revelations are bursting like fireworks? David Spiceland, Wayne Thomas, and Don Herrmann have developed a unique set of materials based directly on their collective years in the classroom. They’ve brought together best practices like highlighting Common Mistakes, offering frequent Let’s Review exercises, integrating the course with a running Continuing Problem, demonstrating the relevance of the course with real-world companies and decision analysis, and communicating it all in a student-friendly conversational writing style. After the proven success of the first three editions of Financial Accounting, we are confident that the fourth edition will not only motivate,engage, and challenge students—it will illuminate the financial accounting course like never before.

Intermediate Accounting is quickly becoming the most popular resource in its field due to its rigorous yet readable approach to coursework and the coherent, consistent voice of the author team.  The Spiceland team is committed to providing current, comprehensive, and clear coverage of intermediate accounting, and the ninth edition continues to leverage Connect as the premier digital teaching and learning tool on the market.
Spiceland excels in fully preparing students for the CPA exam and their future careers through the material’s highly acclaimed conversational writing style, carefully tuned pedagogy, and wealth of online tools. Spiceland helps students develop a better understanding of both theoretical and practical concepts, guiding them to a more complete mastery of accounting principles.   The new ninth edition fully integrates the latest FASB updates, including:
  • Leases (ch. 15)
  • Financial instruments (ch. 12)
  • Revenue recognition (ch. 5)

  • An extensive collection of NEW technology assets highlight further enhancements in this edition, such as:
