- 2nd Edition
The second edition has been brought up to date with changes in accounting regulations and a new chapter added on the preparation of final accounts. Many more questions have been included in an expanded Lecturer's Guide.
The book outlines the regulatory process which controls the quality and quantity of information in financial statements and looks at some of the limitations of traditional accounting practices. It concentrates primarily on the single entity but a chapter on group accounts is included to provide a basic appreciation that will allow students an appreciation of published accounts. The conceptual framework underpinning focuses on the needs of users of financial information and concentrates on the balance sheet (i.e. defining and reporting assets, liabilities and owners' equity).
The book has been designed to be the appropriate level and length for a new-style modular first year programme in financial accounting.

From the Back Cover
The fourth edition of this revised and fully updated text continues to provide students with a clear and well-structured introduction to financial accounting within a sound conceptual framework. The book retains all of the classic features that have contributed to the book’s success: clarity of expression, the focus on the accounting equation, student activities and real-life commentaries running through each chapter, and the inclusion of the Safe and Sure Annual Report as an example of a listed company. There is a strong emphasis on the Conceptual Framework of the International Accounting Standards Board and on the 'why' rather than simply the 'what' of the subject. The underpinning conceptual framework focuses on the needs of users of financial information.
New to the fourth edition:
- Fully in line with IFRS, but provides comparative analysis with UK GAAP where relevant.
- New case study material including extracts from annual reports for companies such as: BP, Sainsbury's, Burberry and British Airports Authority.
- Fully redesigned text to aid navigation and understanding for students, including unique colour-coded sections that make the technical aspects of the subject more accessible.
- The approach to teaching and learning focuses on subject-specific knowledge outcomes and generic skills outcomes, with end-of-chapter self-evaluation.
- Questions are graded to test student understanding of chapter content, as well as skills in straightforward application of knowledge, and skills of problem solving and evaluation.
