From the Back Cover:

This is a book about accounting, not how to account. It argues that accounting students, having been exposed to the methodology and practice of accounting, need at least one course which critically examines the broader implications of financial accounting for the fair and efficient operation of our economy. This book's objective is to give the reader an understanding of the current financial accounting and reporting environment.

About the Author:

Scott is Professor of History and Director of the African-American Studies Program at Lehigh University.
