Introduction to Managerial Accounting by Folk/Garrison/Noreen is based on the market-leading text, Managerial Accounting, by Garrison and Noreen. However, this is not simply a briefer book with chapters removed; it has been rethought and retooled to meet the needs demanded by the market: a more accessible, yet thorough student-friendly text that satisfies the basic needs of the managerial accounting student without unnecessary depth on advanced topics associated with the follow-up course, cost accounting/cost management. Faculty and students alike will find this new text has retained the hallmark features of the Garrison/Noreen text: author-written supplements; excellent readability; terrific examples; thorough, relevant, and balanced end of chapter material. In sum, this is a book instructors can count on!
