Now in its 20th year and 8th edition, Birt's Accounting: Business Reporting for Decision Making continues to set the standard for introductory accounting texts. Perfect for all business and commerce students, it shows the relationship between business and accounting in a clear and accessible way. This edition has a new focus on developing Excel skills, which is the biggest skill gap in the accounting profession. Included in the new edition is an Excel primer outlining key Excel functions used in Introductory Accounting, Excel applications exercises across chapters, and a selection of Excel screencasts in the interactive ebook all designed to give students hands-on practice before entering the workforce. The inclusion of new reflection exercises in each chapter also highlights how the theory and concepts apply in real life. Supported by a variety of digital resources, such as Excel screen cast videos, animated worked problems, and questions with immediate feedback, this textbook is designed for an engaging, interactive learning experience.
