Description of  Financial Reporting and Analysis, 8th Edition

Revsine's Financial Reporting & Analysis 8th edition is fully updated for new FASB/GAAP standards in Leases and Revenue Recognition, as well as for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Updates are also included in Connect, the premier digital teaching and learning tool that allows instructors to assign and assess course material. Financial Reporting & Analysis (FR&A) by Revsine/Collins/Johnson/Mittelstaedt/Soffer emphasizes both the process of financial reporting and the analysis of financial statements. This book employs a true "user" perspective by discussing the contracting and decision implications of accounting, helping readers understand why accounting choices are so important and to whom they matter. Revsine, Collins, Johnson, Mittelstaedt, and Soffer train their readers to be good financial detectives by enabling them to read, use, and interpret the statements. Most importantly, FR&A helps students develop critical-thinking skills and understand how and why managers can utilize the flexibility in GAAP to adapt the numbers for their own purposes.
