The text begins with a thorough exploration of the environment and objectives of government and not-for-profit organizations, how they differ from businesses, and how and why the environment and objectives affect the reporting and interpretation of accounting information.
Throughout the text, there is a discussion of the reasons for and advantages and limitations of accounting standards throughout the text.
Includes problems that give students the opportunity to gain hands on experience with recording and reporting accounting information, and explore the purpose of standards and the meaning and usefulness of reported information.
Includes a full chapter on financial analysis for governments and not-for-profit organizations—a topic generally not included in accounting texts.
Each of the chapters on government accounting includes questions to help students find information related to the key topics and understand the meaning of that information.
