The ABCs of Accounting Paperback - 2011 - 2nd Edition

From the publisher

The ABCS of Accounting, 2nd Edition is the perfect book for non- accountants to learn about accounting principles. Requiring no prior accounting knowledge, this course is a great foundation for students expecting to take QuickBooks courses, a perfect accompaniment for a computerized accounting course, and an excellent option for small business owners and others who simply need a better understanding of accounting basics. Our second edition is even better than our well-received first edition. In this edition, we've retained the same instructional design found to be highly effective by educators throughout the country. And we've made a few key improvements, including expanded concepts discussions and additional guidance with exercises. Some key features: * Written for beginners; no accounting background required * Covers a brief history of accounting and its origins * Delves right into the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity * Includes an integrative case study with Dan Diver as he starts his business; his accounting needs grow with each lesson * Covers T-accounts and their uses in accounting * Provides business transaction analysis steps * Works through the entire accounting cycle using various small business case studies * Ends with a mini practice case study wherein students do the accounting for an entire month and prepare the financial statements
