An application of the principles required to understand consolidations.
Get where you need to be with CORNERSTONES OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING, 3e, International Edition. Cornerstones delivers a truly unique learning system that is integrated through the entire introductory managerial accounting journey -- ensuring students will leave the course with the knowledge they need to be future business leaders. Students are guided through: Building A Strong Foundation: Students need to build a strong foundation of the fundamentals before they can move forward in this course. The unique Cornerstones approach gets them through the fundamentals FASTER so that they can transition to analyzing and applying concepts. Understanding Relationships: Rather than focusing on concepts in isolation, students should understand accounting as a system and recognize how the end result changes based on how the numbers affect each other. CORNERSTONES aids students in this step as an important part in training them to be good decision makers. Making Decisions: Armed with the knowledge they have gained from working through the other aspects of the Cornerstones approach, students are now given the tools to bring their knowledge full-circle and practice making good business decisions. Students love this approach because it presents materials the way they learn. Instructors love it because it gets students to master the foundations more quickly and allows more time to learn and apply the analysis and decision making of accounting. Get There with Cornerstones!
The seventeenth edition of Accounting Standards introduces students to the principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards. Changes brought about by new and revised standards have once again been incorporated in this latest edition, mainly relating to the new IFRS 16 on leases. The accounting principles are illustrated through questions that gradually increase in their degree of difficulty. This approach facilitates the students’ understanding of these principles and allows them to get to grips with financial statements in a practical manner. This edition of Accounting Standards is intended to satisfy the students’ requirements while at the same time reducing the lecturers’ workload.
This book is designed to serve as a textbook for advanced
undergraduate and beginning graduate students who seek a rigorous
yet accessible introduction to the modern financial theory of
security markets. This is a subject that is taught in both business
schools and mathematical science departments. The full theory of
security markets requires knowledge of continuous time stochastic
process models, measure theory, mathematical economics, and similar
prerequisites which are generally not learned before the advanced
graduate level. Hence a proper study of the full theory of security
markets requires several years of graduate study. However, by
restricting attention to discrete time models of security prices it
is possible to acquire mathematics. In particular, while living in
a discrete time world it is possible to learn virtually all of the
important financial concepts. The purpose of this book is to
provide such an introductory study. There is still a lot of mathematics in this book. The reader
should be comfortable with calculus, linear algebra, and
probability theory that is based on calculus, (but not necessarily
measure theory). Random variables and expected values will be
playing important roles. The book will develop important notions
concerning discrete time stochastic processes; prior knowledge here
will be useful but is not required. Presumably the reader will be
interested in finance and thus will come with some rudimentary
knowledge of stocks, bonds, options, and financial decision making.
The last topic involves utility theory, of course; hopefully the
reader will be familiar with this and related topics of
introductory microeconomic theory. Some exposure to
linearprogramming would be advantageous, but not necessary. The aim of this book is to provide a rigorous treatment of the financial theory while maintaining a casual style. Readers seeking institutional knowledge about securities, derivatives, and portfolio management should look elsewhere, but those seeking a careful introduction to financial engineering will find that this is a useful and comprehensive introduction to the subject.
