Accounting for Success

<p><strong>ACCOUNTING FOR SUCCESS</strong></p><p><strong>THE GUIDE TO CASE RESOLUTION</strong></p><p>Preface<br />My book is intended for university students or candidates in accounting who are required<br />to resolve multidisciplinary integrated cases as part of their studies.<br />What I have written is based on more than twenty-five years of resolving cases; my<br />experience has been gained from university teaching consulting for accounting firms<br />and marking professional exams. The ideas you will find in this book are drawn from<br />real-life student work responses comments and questions.<br />I spent over five years writing the original edition of Accounting for success first bringing<br />together a great number of observations and then proceeding to their detailed analysis.<br />My objective has been to facilitate the case learning process by using a practical and<br />well-structured approach. Experience has taught me that resolving multidisciplinary<br />cases within a specific context is one of the greatest challenges in the study of accounting.<br />By opting for a clear direct and concise approach I have sought to present key elements<br />in a dynamic and proactive manner with the occasional dash of humor. My preference<br />has been to adopt a more chatty style interspersed with illustrations rather than<br />to simply present the reader with a formal list of concepts. This explains the many<br />recommendations examples and tables that I use to clarify and explain my arguments.<br />Case analysis and resolution is an activity that teaches you to exercise your judgment<br />in a variety of situations something that most certainly adds a positive dimension to<br />accounting studies.</p><p><br />Sylvie Deslauriers PhD</p>
