Success in Corporate Accounting starts here The first Pearson edition of Corporate Accounting in Australia provides comprehensive coverage of the latest company accounting principles, practices and issues in a very accessible manner, while delivering enhanced pedagogy and lecturer support. The aim is to ensure that students don’t feel daunted by the technical detail, but at the same time develop an understanding of the core principles that underpin contemporary professional practice. It has been written to help students succeed in what is traditionally a very demanding subject.

Craig Deegan's Financial Accounting Theory provides a concise approach while comprehensively covering both traditional and contemporary theories that have emerged as the practice of accounting has evolved. Social and environmental accountability and reporting issues are discussed in depth, along with coverage of critical perspectives, public sector accounting and fair value. Instructors and students value Financial Accounting Theory for its reader-friendly style using straightforward explanations and numerous practical examples. This new edition continues to follow this approach with the addition of *NEW* content focusing on how different perspectives of organisational responsibilities and ‘accountabilities’ impact the way accounting is performed, and the theories that different researchers choose to use/apply.

The history of accounting in Australia is of interest because it provides an opportunity to examine how accounting techniques, institutions and concepts have been imported and adapted to an environment similar to, but not exactly the same as that of the exporters. The book emphasizes private sector accounting over public sector accounting which is a reflection of the available literature but not of the real world of Australian accounting and is divided into 7 sections: Early Accounting Records The Financial Year Corporate Financial Reporting Audit Professional Accountancy Accounting Literature Biographies and Bibliographies

This book aims to explore the role of accounting, particularly creative accounting and fraud, in business scandals. The book is divided into three parts. In Part A the background and context of creative accounting and fraud is explored. Part B looks at a series of international accounting scandals and Part C draws some themes and implications from the country studies.
