Book description

By emphasizing concepts, rather than rules and procedures, Granof's Government and Not-for-Profit Accounting, 6th Edition ensures that students will gain insight into how and why the issues may have been resolved either similarly or differently in the business sector. Unlike other government and NFP accounting texts, this book is directed for both potential users and preparers of financial reports. Government and Non-Profit Accounting helps make students aware of the dynamism of government and not-for-profit accounting and of the intellectual challenges that it presents. Emphasizing real world applications and an "issue-oriented" approach, the text explains concepts concisely and connects them with real world examples and is conceptual, yet provides complete coverage of all topics likely to appear on the CPA exam.
