The digital tool is an electronic gateway to a comprehensive set of materials that supplement the already comprehensive coverage of accounting topics in the Intermediate Accounting by Kieso, Weygandt, and Warfield. Included is the "Professional Toolkit", with materials on written communication, working in teams, and ethics. An "Analyst's Toolkit" contains a comprehensive primer on financial statement analysis and a collection of over 20 real company financial statements that students can access for financial statement and other research. Also included is the "Student Helper" Toolkit, which contains expanded discussions and illustrations for topics such as international accounting and the accounting for securitizations, and additional real company disclosures for topics introduced in the text.
Why did we develop the Gateway to the Profession Digital Tool?
Recent developments in the fast-changing business world indicate that accounting professionals must not only have knowledge of accounting facts but must be able to use accounting facts and procedures in various business contexts. This trend is reflected in the recent framework introduced by the AICPA that recommends a skilled-based as opposed to a fact-based accounting curriculum. That is, accountants must act as well as think and it is important for students to understand the how as well as the why. The content and focus of the "Gateway to the Profession" Digital Tool respond to this trend by providing an expanded set of materials that can be used to extend and apply the concepts and methods introduced in Intermediate Accounting.
