Innovative managerial Accounting Education
Intelligent Accounting
Intelligent Accounting is a companion website for the textbook Managerial Accounting: Principles, Analytics, and AI, designed to support the intentional integration of technology and analytics into managerial accounting education.
The site extends the textbook by providing faculty and students with a centralized space for applied examples, conceptual reinforcement, and instructional support focused on how accounting, analytics, and emerging technologies shape modern managerial decision-making.
A Companion Resource for Managerial Accounting: Principles, Analytics, and AI
The textbook Managerial Accounting: Principles, Analytics, and AI emphasizes that managerial accounting concepts are increasingly informed by data, systems, and intelligent technologies. Intelligent Accounting serves as the companion site that reinforces and expands these ideas beyond the printed text.
- Supports the planned integration of analytics and AI into managerial accounting topics
- Reinforces connections between accounting information, systems, and decisions
- Provides applied context that complements textbook examples.
- Helps faculty implement technology-enabled content with confidence
A Planned Approach to Technology Integration
Rather than presenting technology as a standalone topic, Intelligent Accounting emphasizes planned and purposeful integration throughout accounting education—showing how systems and analytics affect accounting decisions, processes, and professional judgment.
