Product Description
Business Accounting is the world's best-selling textbook on bookkeeping and
accounting. Its clear explanations, in simple language, a wealth of worked examples and large number of questions and answers, have made it a popular choice with both students and lecturers for over thirty years. Other popular features are its comprehensiveness, the clarity of presentation and layout and the structured manner in which it builds knowledge in logically progressing short chapters.
In this edition the distribution of chapters between the two volumes has been
rationalised. Volume 1 now includes more-complete coverage of special
accounting procedures and partnerships. Chapters on partnership
dissolution, joint venture accounts, bills of exchange, and consignment
accounts, have been incorporated from Volume 2. A selection of recent
questions from examining boards and professional bodies has been included.
