This sixth edition of the most widely adopted text in the field
continues to introduce law students with no accounting background
to financial statements and the ways that accounting concepts and
issues arise in transactional work and litigation. Designed for
either two- or three-hour courses, this text uses a "learn by
doing" approach, including: Illustrative financial statements from
Starbucks Corporation; and Multiple problems using the financial
statements from Amazon.com, Inc., Google Inc., and United Parcel
Service, Inc. The first section of each chapter, entitled
"Importance to Lawyers," explains how the topics discussed in that
chapter affect the practice of law. The text empowers students: To
work backwards through the bookkeeping process and, when necessary,
to trace an amount that appears on the financial statements through
the accounting records to the ledgers, journals, and supporting
documentation; To negotiate agreements or other legal documents
containing accounting terminology or concepts; To recognize "red
flags" that suggest financial difficulties--or even financial
fraud; and To understand--and, when necessary, defend against--the
opportunities to obtain accounting-related information about an
underlying lawsuit and then to use that information during
litigation. The sixth edition incorporates numerous developments
since the fifth edition, most significantly discussions about the
new generally accepted accounting principles governing revenue
recognition, lease accounting, and credit losses. Often
collectively referred to as "new GAAP," these rules mark the most
significant changes to financial accounting in at least a
generation. The sixth edition also identifies and discusses various
financial accounting issues that lawyers should keep in mind during
the pandemic and its aftermath.
