Students buying the book new can acquire Net Tutor, which provides limited free hours or additional hours for a fee of live tutoring (during Florida business hours).

PowerWeb provides current articles and self-graded quizzes. Page-Out offers pre-built or individualized advice for creating a web site or customizing course content. Other technologies-based features add course administration convenience for the teacher and offer opportunities for significantly extending the course beyond the text. Chapters start with a vignette introducing a small business user-aspect to the material.
Some pages appear as a busy web site, offering many informational options. Many brief exhibits, pictures, box inserts, and margin comments are boldly highlighted, most of which relate to real companies, and introduce user insight. However, perusal of recent Issues in Accounting Education reviews indicates that some reviewers prefer muted colors and minimum use of sidebars and other highlights. The extensive use and prominent placement of exhibits will appeal to some users as positive learning aids. Others may find them distracting.
The content is predominantly financial. The first 18 chapters provide thorough coverage of financial accounting mechanics and methods. The significant level of technical detail is not needed for nonaccounting majors. For example, seven inventory valuation methods are explained. Appendices include payroll records and alternative accounting for prepaids. Such extensive coverage results in a large and quite heavy text.
Transactional analysis is started early and continued as helpful sidebar notations in most chapters. Demonstration problems and solutions are presented. A wealth of questions, exercises, and problems focus on learning and research skills. Comprehensive and serial problems help integrate and reinforce learning.
The broad range of assignments enhances flexibility with conveniently referenced learning objectives within a CAP category, i.e., conceptual, analytical, and procedural. 'Beyond the Numbers' assignments and 'You Make the Call' box inserts pose interesting user-oriented exercises that add some balance to the overall emphasis on preparation of accounting information. While strong support is provided for an intermediate financial course, an advanced managerial course is not as strongly supported. Managerial coverage is minimal but adequate for students on a public accounting track. Product costing, including ABC, is thorough and emphasizes GAAP concepts.
