Accounting:
Building Business Skills is the Australasian adaptation of the market leading
texts Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting by Kimmel, Weygandt
and Kieso. It will be a four colour text- a first in the Australian introductory
accounting market.
The text maintains a balance between the "user" and "preparer"
perspectives. It presents a "macro" view of accounting information
by presenting real companies and financial statements. The authors establish
how a financial statement communicates the financing, operating, and investing
activities of a business. The text builds a strong conceptual understanding
and develops skills in the application of accounting principles and techniques,
providing students with a solid foundation for further studies in accounting.
The integral role of financial statements for decision making is also emphasised
in this text and is reinforced throughout by the Decision Toolkit in each
chapter. Students are provided with an extensive set of tools necessary
to make business decisions based on financial information. This unique approach
will engage, excite and educate students.
