Book description

Henderson, Peirson and Harris’ Financial Accounting Theory provides students with a history and context to current accounting procedures in an accessible and user friendly manner.  The authors encourage students to see the accounting profession as a continuum.  Students are thus given the tools to understand the bigger picture and be able to assess and analyse current accounting processes and trends in the discipline. As the authors comment: “A knowledge of past theoretical work will help the accountant to select the most appropriate new procedure and to understand it.  Accounting theory influences future professional directions.  [Pearson Education Australia]
