An Analysis of the Readability of Financial Accounting Textbooks.

Smith, Gerald; And Others

Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, v23 n4 p12-22 Oct 1981

The Flesch formula was used to calculate the readability of 15 financial accounting textbooks. The 15 textbooks represented introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels and also were classified by five different publishers. Two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc analysis revealed some significant differences. (Author/CT)
