News for Intermediate Accounting or NIA is a web page that is designed for instructors of intermediate accounting. NIA is a unique classroom resource consisting of teaching tools and rich assignment material. The page will provide summaries of recent articles that appear in the financial press and relate to key intermediate accounting topics. The article summary will be followed by series of assignment questions and a group project related to the topic.
NIA is not tied to any specific intermediate accounting textbook. Rather, the coverage will be general enough to be used with any intermediate accounting textbook currently published.
Another important feature of NIA is that all companies and organizations noted in the article or the assignment material will be "hot linked" to the applicable web sites for additional research.
