Accounting: Basic Reports

This introductory accounting series was first published as a single volume, TAFE Accounting, and became the best selling text in the VET market in Victoria. Subsequently a format of split volumes was adopted to address market requirements outside of these qualifications. The companion volume to this text is Accounting to Trial Balance. This current edition has undergone a number of revisions to ensure it rigorously addresses competencies in the TAFE and RTO markets and to incorporate the changes made to FNS. It also includes a significant number of support materials, to assist students in courses with limited teacher interaction.

New to this Edition

• Interactive computer simulations of exercises on disc.


• MYOB exercises integrated into text


• Information on the amendments to the conceptual framework of the Australian Accounting Standards Board


• More assessments including test banks and student quizzes
