-- 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.
