For courses in Advanced Accounting.

Advanced Financial Accounting in Canada is intended for advanced financial accounting courses covering investments in passive investments, associates, subsidiary, and joint arrangements. It also provides guidance on foreign transactions and investments as well as the accounting for not-for-profit entities. The objectives of this resource are to explain complex material in as straightforward a manner as possible and help students understand the purpose of complex accounting topics. Although students studying this material are not novice accounting students, they are novice learners when it comes to this particular set of material. As such, we have endeavored to use plain language to keep the focus on the core topics and to minimize unnecessary complexity.

Hallmark features of this title

  • ELA Homes chapter-opening cases. ELA Homes is a fictional private corporation that we use to connect the chapters throughout the textbook.  Each chapter includes a description of the growth that occurs in the business and demonstrates the need for the various accounting treatments that align with each chapter with a comprehensive scenario and detailed solution provided at the end of the chapter.
  • Practically Speaking boxes. This feature includes real life examples of the material covered.  Examples include excerpts from annual reports, financial statements, notes to the financial statements and other general information.  This allows students to see how accounting standards apply to Canadian companies.
  • Illustrative Examples. Throughout the chapters, illustrative examples are provided to apply the accounting standards and methods discussed.  The examples are formatted so that students may attempt to solve the problems before looking at the solution.  The solutions to illustrative examples include explanations that are more detailed than those provided with the end-of-chapter materials so that students have an opportunity to fully explore the application of the standards.
  • Review Questions, Problems, and Cases. Review questions provide opportunities for students to assess their understanding of the qualitative concepts.  Problems range in complexity allowing students to practice the different concepts illustrated in the chapter or previous chapters. Each chapter includes cases to allow for classroom discussion of topics and for students to apply the material to less structured scenarios.
