    Yes, there is a lot of great free accounting information on this site. But... there is loads more in the book.

    And you're not just getting more theory lessons - you're getting tons of accounting exercises. Remember, in accounting you're tested mainly through practical exercises, far more than questions on theory - so you need to practice, practice, practice accounting exercises.

    This basic accounting book has exercises on everything from journals (debits and credits) to T-accounts, financial statements, inventory and manufacturing businesses, depreciation, provision for bad debts, prepayments, closing entries and various other accounting topics - all the basic accounting topics you need to pass (and excel in) your studies.

    IMPORTANT: Please do not confuse this book with Accounting for Dummies or Idiot's Guide to Accounting or similar books. I've read those books - they're good, but here's the only thing wrong... In my opinion these books do not cover debits and credits in sufficient detail at all. And that - understanding debits and credits - is the key to your accounting studies. These sorts of books are specifically written for the business manager or working bookkeeper/accountant, not for the accounting student. The Accounting Basics for Students book is written primarily for the student and is based on the accounting 101 syllabus.

    If you've found the lessons on this site useful, simple, easy-to-understand - well then this basic accounting book will really help you...

    If you're struggling with accounting, and/or if you're new to the subject and confused, this is what you need.
