Publisher's Synopsis
This new Australian adaptation is based on the successful US book, now in its 6th edition. The text has an accounting user focus and is intended for the one-semester introductory accounting unit. These courses are typically undertaken by accounting and non-accounting majors, as well as postgraduate and MBA students. Whilst the underlying strengths of the US edition have been retained, some significant changes have been made, both as a result of market feedback and the author's own experience whilst teaching Australian students from the US edition. In meeting market demands for the most relevant topical issues a new chapter on corporate governance and ethics has been added.
