Principles of Accounting is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of a two-semester accounting course that covers the fundamentals of financial and managerial accounting. This book is specifically designed to appeal to both accounting and non-accounting majors, exposing students to the core concepts of accounting in familiar ways to build a strong foundation that can be applied across business fields. Each chapter opens with a relatable real-life scenario for today's college student. Thoughtfully designed examples are presented throughout each chapter, allowing students to build on emerging accounting knowledge. Concepts are further reinforced through applicable connections to more detailed business processes. Students are immersed in the "why" as well as the "how" aspects of accounting in order to reinforce concepts and promote comprehension over rote memorization.

Excerpt from Principles, Rules and Definitions: For Bookkeeping This little book was prepared to place at the disposal of students of bookkeeping, and business people generally, the principles and rules needed to make intelligible the bookkeeping work. A set of books in any business should be planned for a purpose. Knowledge of the end sought is essential to a single-minded effort to attain that end. The business man views a set of books as so much machinery for the collection and classifying of the vital facts of his business, for his guidance. The accountant plans the books so as to meet the business mans requirements. It is hoped that reference to the following pages, during the students progress through the bookkeeping work, may enable him to take the attitude of the accountant, looking beyond the necessary details of entering, posting, and filing, to the general plan and purpose. From the accounting standpoint, all sets of books have a likeness in certain particulars. In other particulars there is dissimilarity. We shall begin by referring to the matters which all ordinary bookkeeping systems have in common. The first record which is similar in every business is the statement of assets and liabilities showing the items comprising the net worth. Such a statement is necessary before opening a set of books, in order that the standing or financial strength may be made a matter of record. After the business operations are under way, at regular intervals of time similar statements are made showing the changed values of the items of assets and liabilities, and the resultant changes in the net worth. These financial statements thus afford a picture of the history and progress of the business through a period of years, with a definite analysis of the condition of the business at the close of any given accounting period.

Many lawyers, especially those dealing with commercial matters, need to understand accounting yet feel on shaky ground in the area. This book is written specifically for them. It breaks down and makes clear basic concepts (such as the difference between profit and cash flow), the accounting profession and the legal and regulatory framework within which accounting operates. The relevant provisions of the Companies Act 1985 are discussed at some length. Holgate explains generally accepted accounting principles in the UK (GAAP), the trend towards global harmonisation and the role of international accounting standards. He then deals with specific areas such as group accounts, acquisitions, tax, leases, pensions, financial instruments, and realised profits, focusing in each case on those aspects that are likely to confront lawyers in their work. This book will appeal to the general practitioner as well as to lawyers working in corporate, commercial, and tax law.
