Product Description
As the long-time best-seller, Garrison has helped guide close to 2 million students through the challenging waters of managerial accounting since it was first published. It identifies the three functions managers must perform within their organizations—plan operations, control activities, and make decisions—and explains what accounting information is necessary for these functions, how to collect it, and how to interpret it. To achieve this, Managerial Accounting, 12/E, focuses, now as in the past, on three qualities: Relevance. Every effort is made to help students relate the concepts in this book to the decisions made by working managers. With insightful chapter openers, the popular Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters, and stimulating end-of-chapter exercises, a student reading Garrison should never have to ask “Why am I learning this?” Balance. There’s more than one type of business, and so Garrison covers a variety of business models, including not-for-profit, retail, service, and wholesale organizations as well as manufacturing. In the twelfth edition, service company examples are highlighted with icons in the margins of the text. Clarity. Generations of students have praised Garrison for the friendliness and readability of its writing, but that’s just the beginning. Technical discussions have been simplified, material has been reordered, and the entire book carefully retuned to make teaching—and learning—from Garrison as easy as it can be. In addition, the supplements package is written by Garrison, Noreen, and Brewer, ensuring that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology.

 Very informative Accounting textbook May 1, 2008
Charlie Mulligan (Charlotte, NC)
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I really learned a lot from Managerial Accounting. The text is very succinct and helpful, if a little too detailed. There is a wealth of practice problems available, even if you sometimes have to dig through them in order to really get to the helpful review. The book would have benefited from having the answers to the practice problems included, but the review problems at the end of each chapter are super helpful. Finally, the real-life business insights are the best I have ever read in a textbook and really made it enjoyable to read.

I had to buy this pricey textbook for my Managerial Accounting class. I started working through the chapters and definitely liked this book.
Authors did a good job making the topic easily understandable. I also liked the many real life examples and the friendly voice.

This is one of the recommended textbook for the Managerial Accounting course at GWU. The book is very well written, structured and a must read textbook to understand managerial accounting. I will be keeping this book for the future reference. The author has done a fantastic job in explaining the concepts and by having lot of review problems. The author has also provided a lot of information online

anyone can understand the concepts by just going through the video library. I would rate this book as one of the top 5 books in my MBA program. Many of the negative feedback received on this book is due to exercises being different in the International Edition or for not having received the book while dealing with the third party sellers.
Excellent overview of management accounting March 11, 2009

I classify this book as an excellent introduction to managerial accounting, ideally for a semester-length course. The information is presented in a format that discusses the basics and allows the student to understand the most current and relevant topics. A must-read for all CMA candidates.
Managerial Accounting and how to reduce your cost? November 23, 2008
Anh T. Phung (CA, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
To someone who wants to look at a company's financial performance internally, Managerial Accounting book is an excellent fit.
It's all about costs and how to make right decisions accordingly such as how to implement ABC system, should I get out of business, or close a line of product, how to expand producing capacities?... those questions are easily found in this valuable book.
Beside there are several pratical and helpful exercises, problems and case studies at the end of each chapter that shed more light on mentioned theories.
