Introduction To Financial Accounting

This textbook, originally by D. Annand and H. Dauderis, was intended for a first course in introductory financial accounting. It focuses on core introductory financial accounting topics that match pre-requisite requirements for students advancing to Intermediate Financial Accounting. A corporate approach is utilized versus beginning with a sole proprietorship emphasis and then converting to a corporate approach; this consistency throughout the book reduces confusion for the introductory student. This most recent revision by D. Marchand converted the text from IFRS to reflect the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States (U.S. GAAP).

The new seventh edition of 'Introduction to Financial Accounting' has been fully revised and updated to reflect the very latest developments in this dynamic field and offers contemporary and comprehensive coverage of Financial Accounting today.
