Financial Accounting

Financial Accounting is intended as a core textbook for students studying the subject for the first time. This book provides a self-contained, introductory, one-semester course that covers topics such as the main financial statements, regulatory and conceptual frameworks and interpretation of accounts. Financial Accounting also includes recent developments in accounting and in particular the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Financial Accounting is an easy-to-follow introduction to the subject, and can be used by students on both accounting and non-accounting degrees, as well as those on MBA courses.

Designed to be both engaging and accessible to the student, Financial Accounting features:

* A lively presentational style integrating cartoons and soundbites

* 'Real Life Nuggets' offering contemporary examples from the business press that give the body of the text a real-life resonance.
* End of chapter questions of escalating difficulty, together with accompanying answers, enabling the student to develop their understanding of the key concepts discussed in the text.
