Features: This book is a primary textbook explaining the theory and methods of government and non-profit organization accounting. Although it primarily focuses on government units, it also involves other non-profit organizations to varying degrees. The content organization and structure of the book have been designed to meet the needs of a wide range of readers. For example, readers interested only in the accounting activities of general state and local governments can skip the chapters related to federal government, non-profit organizations, healthcare entities, as well as accounting issues in colleges and universities. Public administration students who have not taken introductory accounting courses should start with the last chapter, which separately explains accounting fundamentals, and then selectively proceed to chapters covering government or other non-profit organization accounting issues.
