Book description
Financial Accounting: A User Perspective, Sixth Canadian Edition maintains its unique focus on the users of accounting information while presenting accounting concepts in a traditional framework. Students learn about underlying accounting concepts and accounting systems and get to apply that information from a user perspective. Unlike other books, Financial Accounting uses the analysis of real companies' financial information as the focal point for the user perspective. This unique approach has allowed all students, majors and non-majors alike, to gain the solid understanding of accounting that they will need to succeed in business. The text, paired with WileyPLUS, forms a strong teaching and learning package.
