Advanced Accounting

Formerly published by Cambridge Business Publishers, now published by Sage

Advanced Accounting, Fifth Edition provides comprehensive coverage of complex financial reporting topics, including business combinations, foreign currency transactions, hedging, state and local government accounting, not-for-profit organizations, and other specialized areas. The text emphasizes understanding the logic behind reporting standards and requirements, helping students develop judgment rather than relying on rote procedures. Written in a student-friendly style, each topic is introduced by explaining the underlying business activity, the reporting objectives, and how accounting standards achieve those objectives. Illustrations from current financial statements and real business events reinforce learning and familiarize students with how advanced accounting issues appear in practice.

Designed for undergraduate and graduate advanced accounting courses―as well as mergers and acquisitions–focused offerings―the book aligns closely with the CPA Evolution Model Curriculum. Critical thinking, evaluation of reporting alternatives, and analysis of information are emphasized throughout, preparing students for both the CPA Exam and professional practice.
