Features: This book is an introductory textbook in accounting. Since its first publication in 1964, it has been revised multiple times and remains enduringly popular. The two authors are Robert N. Anthony from Harvard Business School and Leslie K. Breitner from the University of Washington. The book features a unique format, employing case exercises where key content is presented in a fill-in-the-blank style, enabling readers to gradually master the fundamental knowledge and practical operations of accounting through hands-on practice. Accounting is often referred to as the language of business, with its basic structure and rules largely consistent across many countries and organizations. However, accounting is also a highly complex language because many terms used in it carry meanings that differ from their everyday usage. When using accounting terminology, it is essential to understand its specific accounting definitions. This is precisely the goal of this book. Its unique format and concise content make it particularly suitable for self-study. The book is ideal as a primary accounting textbook for undergraduate students in accounting, auditing, and finance majors. It can also serve as a reference textbook for students in finance, management, and economics majors taking accounting courses. Additionally, it is a valuable reference for professionals working in related fields.
