Get your students excited about accounting with Accountivities — a new resource developed to provide reinforcement activities for the 1st year accounting student.
 

Accountivities™ is a collection of activities designed to reinforce the accounting skills learned in a first year accounting course. Students are taken beyond the regimented format of textbook assignments and challenged to think about the task at hand and the role the accounting process plays in businesses.

Each activity in the book is designed to cover a specific set of skills. Activities range in size and scope from choosing the appropriate form of business ownership to completing the accounting cycle for a merchandising business. Students are challenged to analyze financial results for industry leaders such as NetFlix® and Microsoft®. When compared to standard accounting textbooks, Accountivities™ presents information in an easy-to-read format and design that students will easily follow and understand.
