Modern Advanced Accounting in Canada continues to deliver the content and pedagogy that made it the best selling advanced financial accounting text in Canada. With the addition of new co-author Darrell Herauf complementing Murray Hilton's expertise, the fourth edition will maintain its reputation as the most current, technically accurate, and concise advanced accounting text in Canada.
This text also covers topics usually taught in advanced accounting courses. They include complete and comprehensive coverage of business combinations, the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the consolidation of joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries, and pushdown accounting. Consolidation coverage continues to emphasize the direct (non-working paper) approach accompanied by a "building block" development of the consolidation basics.
