Financial accounting - Anne Britton

Financial Accounting Third edition By Anne Britton and Chris Waterston Financial Accounting successfully combines an academic, conceptual approach to the subject with an accessible, student-friendly and interactive style. The text adopts a questioning attitude to the subject, asking why accounting practices exist and how they work, without lingering on the technicalities. The third edition has been revised to update existing material, especially for FRS 18, and to introduce new topic areas, notably e-accounting and the increasingly important issue of revenue recognition. Increased in length, depth and coverage, for those who favour the 'why' over 'how to' approach, Financial Accounting is now the ideal introductory core text for first-year financial accounting students. New to the third edition New topic areas have been introduced including e-accounting and revenue recognition. A greatly increased variety of self-assessment questions and exercises, with answers, to facilitate self-paced learning. All chapters now include a list of key terms highlighted in the text. Glossary of key definitions.;A companion website supports this book, providing a full resource pack for both lecturers and students, including downloadable lecturers' material, further questions with answers, a list of suggested web links and a bank of self-marking multiple-choice questions for students. Financial Accounting is ideally suited for students taking accounting courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. This book will also be a suitable introduction to the subject for those who intend to continue studies in professional accounting.
