Review:
This book represents the cutting edge of what the top scholars and practitioners
know about finance--at long last made practical and accessible. It is a corporate book, yet
it is cutting edge investment theory, presenting the forefront on interpreting what the data
says about the theories, cutting edge on risk management, capital budgeting, and on the
issues that need to be considered to determine both a firm's proper mix of debt and equity
financing and its value maximizing dividend policy. It tells the practitioner/student how
to do it and is the first book to teach, with careful step-by-step pedagogy, and how to
think for themselves about it. The goal of this text, and this revision in particular, is to
present the material in as simple and accessible manner as possible without glossing over
the important details. Rather than organizing the text around financial theory and then
thinking about potential applications, the authors began by thinking about finance
practice, and then organized the book around the tools needed to create value in the
financial management of a corporation.

Review:
This textbook contains comprehensive coverage of accounting in the twenty-first
century. It adopts a building block approach, dealing with the individual components of a
set of financial statements before building up to more difficult integrated topics such as
partnerships, limited company accounts and cash flow statements. The text book is fully
compliant with International Accounting Standards and the International Accounting
language.
An introduction to financial accounting provides students and those with an interest in
financial accounting with an easy-access source of complete, concise and accurate
information. The book is particularly suitable for those following degree, some students
may find the information a little dry and at times heavy going. It is best worked through,
but only if you have the stamina.

explaining technical terminology in a clear, friendly style, the authors cater both for
accounting students, and for those studying entry-level accounting within another field. A
practical emphasis throughout the book ensures that the material is always relevant and
suitable to the decision makers of the future.
