While many texts are characterized as having either a "user" approach or a "preparer" approach, Financial Accounting: Including International Financial Reporting Standards is written for faculty who want to strike a balance between these approaches. Business majors will find relevance in the "Ethics, Fraud & Corporate Governance", "Your Turn" and "Case in Point" boxes throughout the chapters while accounting majors will receive a firm grounding in accounting basics that will prepare them for their intermediate course.
In addition, the textbook incorporates examples, case studies, and questions drawn from Asian contexts and practices. Combined with robust end-of-chapter exercises and exciting interactive supplementary materials, Financial Accounting: Including International Financial Reporting Standards is absolutely relevant and essential for instructors and students in the region.
