Financial Accounting : A Global Approach

The trend towards globalization has been accompanied by efforts to harmonize international accounting standards. The aim of harmonisation is to create a unified set of accounting rules or standards that are used and understood throughout the world.

Financial Accounting: A Global Approach has been written for students taking an introductory course in financial accounting and is one of the first texts to fully incorporate the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), whilst acknowledging the plethora of other standards used worldwide today. An experienced teacher with students in the US, Dubai and Hong Kong, Rod Monger sets out to guide and assist the student reader to understand the complex nature of the global accounting system.

Students from anywhere in the world will find this text offers a very clear pedagogical framework with sound learning outcomes. Each chapter is structured around a rich source of learning tools, including:

On Your Own – short practice questions at the start of each chapter

Graphic illustrations – used wherever visual learning can help

Application Exercises and Problems and Terminology Practice quizzes - at the end of each chapter

Case Analyses – all chapters use case material to extend and enrich learning
