Accounting principles are created, developed, or decreed and are supported or justified by intuition, authority, and acceptability. Managers have alternatives in their accounting choices; the decisions are political, and trade-offs will be made. Accounting information provides individuals, both inside and outside a firm, with a starting point to understand and evaluate the key drivers of a firm, its financial position, and performance. If you are managing a firm, investing in a firm, lending to a firm, or even working for a firm, you should be able to read the firm's financial statements and ask questions based on those statements. This book examines some of the more advanced topics in accounting. As such, it assumes that the reader already has some familiarity with basic accounting. (A related book covering the basics is Accounting for Fun and Profit: A Guide to Understanding Financial Statements.) The book explains how the user of financial statements should interpret advanced accounting techniques presented, and helps the user conduct in-depth analysis of annual reports. The author will show you that accounting, even the advanced topics, can be informative and fun. 410 0$aFinancial accounting and auditing collection.$x2151-2817 606 $aAccounting 610 $aAdvanced Accounting 610 $aComprehensive Income 610 $aConsolidations 610 $aDeferred Benefits 610 $aEPS 610 $aFinancial Statement Analysis 610 $aForeign Currency Translation 610 $aGovernment Accounting 610 $aLeases 610 $aNonprofits 615 0$aAccounting. 676 $a657 700 $aWeiss$b Lawrence A$g(Lawrence Alan),$0287056 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794729403321 996 $aAccounting for fun and profit$93740851 997 $aUNINA
