．NEW, CLEAR FINANCE CHAPTERS KEEP IMPORTANT FINANCIAL INFORMATION UNDERSTANDABLE AND PRACTICAL: Understanding and using financial information is frequently a challenge for both students and today's small business owners. Because knowing how to use and apply financial information is so critical for small business success, this edition's financial chapters provide careful attention to finance matters. What was previously one chapter on financial statements has been slplit into two chapters. Chapter 10 now focuses on understanding financial statements, and Chapter 11 shifts from understanding to forecasting. The new material should help create a level playing field for the 'non-accounting' student.
