Accounting A Level Theory And Practice Book

The globalized frame work of Cambridge International Advanced Level, in practice over 125 countries, has led to the introduction of an international format and layout for all its syllabuses. With a thorough discussion of the basic double entry principles for the beginners, the ‘A2 Accounting – Theory & Practice’ is also useful for those who have some knowledge.

The strengths and weaknesses of accounting practices are reinforced by a set of Review Questions at the end of each chapter, enabling the students to put, what is learnt, into practice. These Questions have been developed by the author and are not taken from past exam papers and Accounting A2 Level Theory and Practice Books.

This book is completely revised and updated to fully comply with the new CIE Advanced Level Accounting syllabus for 2016-18. Five new chapters have been included in the book in view of the new syllabus.

These topics include ’Auditing and stewardship of limited companies’, ‘Consignment Accounting, Joint Ventures’, ‘Activity based costing’ and ‘Computerized accounts’.

In addition, topics like ‘manufacturing accounts’, ‘non-profit organization have been shifted from ‘AS Accounting – theory and practice’ to this book. New material on overhead costing is also added to the topic ‘standard costing’. As syllabus contents relating to topics like ‘ratios’ and ‘Accounting standards’ have been reduced in new syllabus so these topics have been rewritten accordingly. Solutions to odd numbered questions are given in the appendix at the end of the book.

In addition solutions to even numbered questions are available in a separate manual. Teachers using “A2 Accounting – Theory & Practice” as a text book, may get the manual by applying officially on a school letterhead. Providing the students with a solid foundation in the “Why” as well as the “How” of accounting concepts, the emphasis is put on understanding rather than mere cramming.

A brief list of learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter will assist the readers to determine the things they should understand while going through the chapter.

Hence, checking back may help them to identify weak areas which still need thorough review. Constructive criticism and suggestions to make the subsequent editions more useful would be appreciated and thankfully acknowledged.
