For this reason, we have chosen to illustrate the ninth Canadian edition of Managerial Accounting by Garrison, Chesley, Carroll, Webb and Libby with an image that encapsulates the greatest strengths of this market leading text.

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. Managerial Accounting focuses on three qualities: Relevance, Balance and Clarity. The authors' steady focus on these core elements has led to tremendous results! As seafarers look to the lighthouse for direction along unfamiliar shore, so too can Garrison act as a compass for students seeking to master this course. New to the ninth Canadian edition, each new Garrison print text includes access to Connect – McGraw-Hill’s innovative online study and testing program – at no additional cost.

Lyryx Assessment Managerial Accounting contains algorithmic problems tied to the Garrison text, unlimited opportunity for students to practice, and automatic grading with extensive fe
