Financial Accounting is the ideal introductory book to anyone with little prior knowledge or new to this subject area. Its clear writing style and unique international focus builds on the success of the previous editions. This fully updated text uses the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as its framework to explain key concepts and practices while linking them with contemporary and real world examples from Europe, US and beyond.

‘A hugely enjoyable and informative book with an international focus’

Eleimon Gonis, University of the West of England, Bristol

'This book will be welcomed by students and academics alike. The text is easy to read and well laid out, the case studies are very helpful, and it is supplemented by a good range of quality supporting material'

Christopher Coles, Department of Accounting and Finance, University of Glasgow
