About this publication

Accounting for All 3rd edition aims to help students master introductory accounting courses, and covers the key topics in the financial accounting and cost accounting disciplines.

Now updated, it has been further enhanced by two new topics - partnerships and non-profit organisations (NPOs) - giving students a broader coverage of the business environment.

The study of accounting is often perceived as daunting, but the author has written in an easy-to-understand style. The teaching methodology takes a step-by-step approach and is supported by extensive explanatory examples and revision questions. It also enables students to work through each chapter independently.
