Being a basic accounting textbook, the book will provide students with a solid and strong basic accounting knowledge to better equip them to tackle more advanced accounting courses. Accounting, as a field of study is professive; accounting knowledge is learned in stages; what is learned in basic accounting is used and applied in more advanced accounting courses. Consequently, if a student has a weak basic accounting foundation, he will have difficulty succeeding in more advanced accounting courses.
