In addition to this, you will need a course invite ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab. As the world shifts to a greater reliance on digital media, it is appropriate that Advanced Financial Accounting in Canada is offered as a fully digital resource as well. Instructors and students will find that, although the medium has changed, the content is fully consistent with in-class and online delivery. Advanced Financial Accounting in Canada is intended for advanced financial accounting courses covering investments in passive investments, associates, subsidiary, and joint arrangements. It also provides guidance on foreign transactions and investments as well as the accounting for not-for-profit entities. The objectives of this resource are to explain complex material in as straightforward a manner as possible and help students understand the purpose of complex accounting topics. Although students studying this material are not novice accounting students, they are novice learners when it comes to this particular set of material. As such, we have endeavored to use plain language to keep the focus on the core topics and to minimize unnecessary complexity. Students learn best by working through problems. As such there is extensive use of examples throughout which demonstrate the application of the standards and concepts covered. The examples include detailed explanations to promote the understanding of not just the "how" but also the "why" accounting is performed as it is. It is our belief that students build a strong base of knowledge when they understand the reason behind the accounting.
