MyAccountingLab for Financial Accounting is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program that truly engages students in learning. It helps students better prepare for class, quizzes, and exams--resulting in better performance in the course--and provides educators with a dynamic set of tools for gauging individual and class progress.
