The text is easy to read and well laid out, the case studies are very helpful, and it is supplemented by a good range of quality supporting material' Christopher Coles, Department of Accounting and Finance, University of Glasgow   'A hugely enjoyable and informative book with an international focus' Eleimon Gonis, University of the West of England, Bristol   Financial Accounting is the ideal book for anyone with little prior knowledge or who is new to this subject area. The book retains the clear writing style and unique international focus which led to the success of previous editions. This approach enables the teaching of financial accounting in a way that is not country-specific. This fully updated text uses the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as its framework to explain key concepts and practices while linking them with contemporary real-life examples from around the world.  . 606 $aFinancial statements 606 $aAccounting 615 0$aFinancial statements. 615 0$aAccounting. 676 $a657 700 $aAlexander$b David$f1947 June 16-$01245490 702 $aNobes$b Christopher 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154929903321 996 $aFinancial accounting$92888618 997 $aUNINA
