  • Subsidiary journals
  • Accounting ledgers
  • Audit trail concepts

 

Step-by-Step Illustrations

 

These are available to guide readers through posting transactions and performing other accounting activities.

Learning Resource for Students

 

A CD containing student data files for all exercises accompanies this text to help guide students throughout the accounting course.
