Description
We asked over 5000 accounting lecturers what would help them teach and students learn?
The results were:
Help with student engagement and varying levels of ability;
Real world examples to be used in class;
Content to break up lectures and engage students.
Accounting 3e has been developed to incorporate these elements and much more!
Accounting 3e provides a very accessible and easy-to-follow introduction and is aimed at students studying accounting for the first time. The book introduces concepts in an engaging and easy-to-follow manner, and examples are tried and tested with many graded questions and answers.
The third edition is updated to reflect IFRS terminologies and format including the reorganisation of the UK standards committee in July 2012. Double entry bookkeeping is included, however, this can be bypassed for students not requiring this.
