Customer Reviews
It also comes recommended by my accounting department as the best book for people trying to start learning accounting techniques
Furthermore, analysis of the main financial staments BS and P&L also requires a good grounding in double entry and a thorough knowledge of the four main concepts in SSAP2.
This book makes a dull subject bearable by contextualising accountancy allowing readers to apply the concepts in real life and also provides a conceptual framework to guide their judgements when they are trying top decide whether something is a debit or credit, income,expense, liability or asset.
It is particularly effective in teaching readers how to discern accruals or prepayments.
It provides case studies showing accounts of well known British PLCs and gets you thinking in an accounting fashion. It should be used in combination with a good financial dictionary and CIMA texts of which BPP are probably the best.
As with all reviews you can never be sure whether a book is as good as its review but you know the only way you will find out.
You will not be dissapointed, well worth the money.
