Editorial review

Financial Accounting: A User Perspective gave a new direction to accounting education in Canada. Through four very successful editions, this book has maintained its unique focus on the uses of accounting information while presenting accounting concepts in a traditional framework. Students learn about underlying accounting concepts and accounting systems and get to apply that information from a user perspective. Unlike other books, Financial Accounting uses the analysis of real companies' financial information as the focal point for the user perspective. This unique approach has allowed all students, majors and non-majors alike, to gain the solid understanding of accounting that they will need to succeed in business.
