Starting with accounting systems, it gives an overview of the three primary financial statements: Balance Sheets, Income Statements, and Statements of Cash flows. Before providing a thorough description of each, it ends with a helpful glossary. Also, each chapter concludes with a “Chapter Summary.” Links to additional material appear at the end of each chapter that supplements the material. As in any good textbook, practice exercises are included and intend to polish memory recall of the discussed topics.
The language is clear, precise, and succinct. Kalpesh Ashar wastes no time with superfluous language and distills the concepts of Financial Accounting down to their nuts and bolts.
