Features: This book consists of 14 chapters, divided into 4 parts: Part 1, Chapter 1, provides an overall overview of financial statements. Part 2, Chapters 2–5, discusses the basic accounting models used in preparing major financial statements. Part 3, Chapters 6–13, considers specific accounting principles or methods used in preparing financial statements. Finally, Part 4, Chapter 14, synthesizes and summarizes Chapters 1–13. These four parts serve as the nodes or steps in the entire learning process of financial accounting. At the end of the book, the appendix describes the methods of compound interest and present value calculations, and provides some relevant data tables for students who have not previously studied this subject. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in accounting, as well as non-accounting majors. It is a supplementary book for Steve Niehaus and L. Rowen's "Financial Accounting: Concepts, Methods, and Applications," and includes "Chapter Highlights" and "Questions, Exercises, Problems, and Cases." The "Chapter Highlights" section concisely introduces the key points covered in each chapter. The book contains many short exercises to help students check their ability to apply concepts in different problem contexts. The exercises, problems, and cases are related to the topics discussed in each chapter. By solving these problems, students can improve their ability to understand the information disclosed in financial statements.
