Warren/Jones/Tayler’s "Managerial Accounting for Business Leaders," 1st Edition, provides a solid foundation in accounting -- the language of business. This text emphasizes core accounting concepts, without traditional T-accounts or debits and credits. Illustrations and examples provide a meaningful context that demonstrates how each chapter’s content fits into the big picture. Chapters begin with a real company opener and conclude with a data analytics activity using Excel and Tableau. Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam questions are also available if you are seeking an accounting certification, while end-of-chapter content sharpens critical-thinking skills. CNOWv2 offers an interactive learning experience that bridges the gap between content, homework and exam performance, empowering you to master essential accounting skills within today's corporate business landscape.
