The emphasis of Managerial Accounting, 12th edition, is on teaching students to use accounting information to best manage an organization. Consistent with the practice Hilton pioneered in the first edition, each chapter is written around a realistic business or focus company that guides the reader through the topics of that chapter. Known for balanced examples of Service, Retail, Nonprofit and Manufacturing companies, HiltonPlatt offers a clear, engaging writing style that has been praised by instructors and students alike.
