Essentials of Accounting

by Robert N. Anthony, Leslie K. Pearlman

Designed specifically for active users of business data--rather than preparers of accounting information (bookkeepers), this self-study, self-paced introduction to financial accounting uses an interactive programmed approach to present the ideas and terminology essential to an understanding of balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows. Every frame requires readers to actively solve a problem involving accounting information--e.g., selecting a correct word from two choices, providing an answer, making a journal entry, or preparing a complete balance sheet. Includes the most recent pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The Balance Sheet. Balance Sheet Changes; Income Measurement. Accounting Records and Systems. Revenues and Monetary Assets. Expense Measurement; The Income Statement. Inventories and Cost of Sales. Noncurrent Assets and Depreciation. Liabilities and Equity. Statement of Cash Flows. Analysis of Financial Statements. A self-study manual for those in executive, vocational, or management training programs, and for new hires who are expected to have a knowledge of accounting, especially banks, investment firms, and consulting firms.

great book!!

[Scott · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good teaching of accounting basics in a learn-by-doing workbook. Starts with basic concepts, journal entries, the general ledger, and covers the various financial statements - balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows, as well as the relationships among them. But, I don't like the formatting of the book (each half of the book is printed upside down from each other other, so you have to flip the book if you want to read something from the other half, such as referencing the exhibits) and some of the concepts could have been made clearer.
