Financial Accounting is the ideal book for anyone with little prior knowledge or new to this subject area. Its clear writing style and unique international focus builds on the success of the previous editions by teaching financial accounting in a way that is not country-specific. This fully updated text uses the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as its framework to explain key concepts and practices while linking them with contemporary and real-world examples from Europe and beyond.

 

Features

·        IFRS abbreviations and a glossary of terms used in IFRS (and in UK and US accounting) are listed in an accessible way.

·        ‘Activities’ and ‘Why it Matters’ boxes are integrated throughout each chapter in order to challenge students and encourage further study.

·         Extensive exercises at the close of each chapter allow students to check their learning. Answers to some exercises can be found in Appendix D.

·        Separate appendices on double entry book-keeping, the requirements of IFRS and the EU fourth directive allow students to tailor the book to their individual study needs. 

·        The book is fully updated to include changes of the past three years.

·        Updated real-life examples from a wide range of countries give this text a truly international perspective.

·        The text is ideal for undergraduates and MBA students worldwide, taking a first course in financial accounting.
