Advanced Accounting for A2 has been written specifically to help students, who have already been introduced to Accounting, to understand fully the intricacies of this complex subject. It is broken down into manageable units, each explaining a topic clearly using accessible language and including interspersed questions to encourage students to apply what they have learnt. Illustrations and diagrams are used throughout to support explanations. Each unit is rounded up with a series of exercises and exam-style questions ensuring that students get plenty of practice in the areas in which they must be proficient to pass the A2 exam. This brand new text has been written by Ian Harrison, a Chief Examiner who has considerable experience and expertise in the field. The text has been formulated to provide full coverage of the specifications of both AQA and OCR at this level and is also suitable for international students as well as those starting professional and vocational courses such as AAT.
Ian Harrison is Chief Examiner for AQA Accounting, Team Leader for CIE Accounting and runs many revision days
