Intermediate Accounting Volume 1 with Connect with Smartbook PPK

There is a vast body of knowledge that students must master before they can account for the activities of an enterprise in the modern business world. The sixth edition of Intermediate Accounting develops both the technical skills and the professional judgement needed for students to succeed. Given the shift to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for public enterprises, and to Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE), currency has never been more important. With a distinctly Canadian agenda, the Beechy/ Conrod/ Farrell/ McLeod-Dick text continues to fully integrate IFRS, while also discussing key differences in ASPE as appropriate at the end of each chapter. The emphasis of the text is on preparing students to apply the standards now in place, provide an overview of some expected changes, and develop the necessary judgemental skills to apply those standards wisely and effectively. New to the sixth edition, Connect with LearnSmart, McGraw-Hill's innovative learning technology, offers students a personalized and enhanced learning experience proven to increase grades, and provides instructors with one convenient location to access a robust teaching resource package. This fully integrated solution helps students master the concepts, practice problems and achieve success in intermediate accounting.
