• A Companion Website that offers students the framework for solving exercises and problems in Excel spreadsheet format

Using a simple, logical flow of information, it is designed not only to teach accounting and accounting procedures but more importantly, to make students aware of the usefulness ofaccounting to hospitality industry managers.
