Accounting Basics

Accounting Basics: Dictionary is the companion dictionary in the Accounting Basics series (this dictionary is Volume 3). Although written specifically for this series, this pocketbook dictionary easily stands on its own and can be used as part of any accounting 101 curriculum or course, or simply as a reference book.

The Dictionary contains clear and concise definitions for over 300 accounting and business terms, including:

• Basic and advanced accounting terms (from debtors and accruals to gearing, working capital and standard costing),
• Investing and finance terms (such as securities, liquidity, unit trusts, diversification),
• Tax terms (such as deduction, withholding tax, taxable income),
• Banking terms (such as debit order, stop order, ACB transfer),
• Economic terms (such as inflation, break-even point, C.P.I.),
• Commonly misunderstood business and legal terms (hire-purchase, remittance advice, sequestrate),
• And more…

Also available in this series:

• Accounting Basics: Study Guide (Volume 1 in the series) — A comprehensive theory book on basic accounting concepts and practices.
• Accounting Basics: Workbook (Volume 2 in the series) — The companion workbook, containing over 88 questions and exercises, which correspond to all of the lessons and chapters in the Study Guide.
• Accounting Basics: Complete Guide — A compilation of the Study Guide, Workbook and Dictionary in one comprehensive publication.

The Accounting Basics series teaches the subject in a simple, clear and comprehensive way. And though written primarily for high school and college students, the books are also very handy for working professionals looking to brush up on basic accounting concepts and practices.
