In its US edition "Principles of Accounting" has been a market leading introductory accounting textbook for over 20 years. The Australasian adaptation of this highly regarded textbook accentuates its relevance to both students and academics alike with its constructive pedagogical structure, application of accounting to a wider business environment and clear, easy to understand writing style.
As accounting is the international language of business, with many students expecting their qualifications to open career opportunities internationally, "Principles of Accounting" aligns to the conceptual framework and financial reporting requirements under IFRS as well as presenting real company financial information. Throughout all chapters, accounting processes and systems are applied and illustrated with real business events from Australasian companies.
A unique feature of the textbook is the author profile. For the first time an introductory textbook comprises both an academic and practitioner perspective to ensure that the information presented reflects the expectations of the profession whilst providing a solid foundation for a university study in accounting.
