Accounting: Building Business Skills

Accounting: Building Business Skills is the Australasian adaptation of the market leading texts Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting by Kimmel, Weygandt and Kieso. It will be a four colour text- a first in the Australian introductory accounting market. The text strikes a balance between the user and the preparer perspective. Real firms and real data are used to illustrate how accounting information is prepared and interpreted. The authors establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, operating, and investing activities of a business. The integral role of financial statements for decision making is the focus of this text and is reinforced throughout by the Decision Toolkit in each chapter. Students are provided with a finite set of tools necessary to make business decisions based on financial information. This unique approach will engage, excite and educate students.
