Overview

The world of financial accounting is changing rapidly, with all listed companies in the EU now required to publish their financial statements according to IFRS. Financial Accounting: An International Approach is written to reflect the latest financial accounting developments and their implications, and is the ideal text for non-specialist students.

Aimed at those students who wish to pursue careers as managers in business or similar organisations, the book offers an innovative, practical and interactive approach to the subject. Focusing on the use of financial information rather than simply presenting technical methodology, and bearing the non-specialist in mind, the authors explain the ground rules of book-keeping, but never to the detriment of essential underlying concepts.

The book is suitable for introductory level courses in Financial Accounting for a general degree in Business/Management and Economics.
