Weygandt’s Managerial Accounting 4th Canadian Edition is written by a highly trusted and respected author team – Weygandt, Kieso, Kimmel and Aly. Hundreds of thousands of students have been successful using books written by these authors. Again, these authors bring you a one semester, undergraduate text that presents the fundamental concepts of managerial accounting in a concise and easy-to-read fashion. This edition retains the same features that made it popular in the previous editions: it gives students all the necessary techniques and concepts of managerial accounting in a focused, concise framework with an excellent pedagogy that’s been praised by instructors. It does this by focusing on the tools students need to succeed. Because not all students taking this course may be accounting majors, the authors have focused more on building decision making skills; on how to use accounting information to make quality business decision; and on the tools needed by future managers.
