This sixth Canadian edition of the venerable “Financial Accounting” textbook by Walter Harrison and esteemed co-authors represents a cornerstone of modern accounting education. First published in 1962, Horngren’s seminal work has guided generations of students and professionals through the intricate world of financial reporting and analysis. This copy, while well-loved, remains a testament to the enduring relevance of the text’s rigorous yet accessible approach.
Beyond mere accounting principles, this volume offers a window into the evolution of business practices and regulatory frameworks that have shaped the corporate landscape over the past six decades. From the aftermath of the Great Depression to the rise of globalization, the successive editions have adapted to reflect the ever-changing demands of the financial world. This particular edition, published in the early 21st century, captures the discipline’s response to the corporate scandals of the early 2000s and the ensuing emphasis on transparency and ethical conduct.
For collectors, this textbook represents not only a valuable educational resource but also a historical artifact, chronicling the progression of accounting thought and its intersection with societal shifts. The inclusion of the MyLab Accounting access card further underscores the text’s embrace of emerging technologies in the classroom, a testament to its enduring relevance in an increasingly digital age.
