Introductory Accounting and Finance for Lawyers

by Lawrence A. Cunningham

Presents in a form balancing technical accuracy with accessibility the fundamental principles of accounting and finance.

Designed for use as a primary textbook for a two- or three-credit course on accounting; as the primary textbook for accounting portions of classes on business associations, corporations, and corporate finance; or as a supplementary text for such courses.
