Are you looking for an engaging, decision-focused approach to financial reporting that encourages students to develop their interpretative skills?

Building on the success of the first edition, this textbook takes a 'how, why, what' approach to financial accounting, woven throughout each chapter. From chapter one, students understand how financial information is prepared and presented, why it is prepared and presented in this way, and what the resulting financial information means for users. Designed for students taking a step beyond their introductory financial accounting training, the textbook equips them with all the key tools they will need when they enter professional practice.

Reflecting the latest International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS), this textbook provides concise, clear explanations of all the key issues in accounting standards that students need to know. Content aligns with professional accounting body syllabi, making this the perfect choice for accounting courses that offer exemptions.

Chapters are enriched with 3 types of examples to enhance understanding:

• Illustrative examples of real-world situations;
• Worked examples demonstrating the calculation of figures required for financial statements;
• Extracts from company annual reports demonstrating how theory relates to financial reporting in practice.

More engaging, more balanced, and more applied than other offerings, this is exactly the textbook your financial reporting students need!
