How are financial statements prepared and analyzed?

How do financial statements change as a result of an accounting event?

What is studied in a trial balance and what information do we extract from it?

These are a few of the questions that this particular work attempts to cover in its many chapters, aiming to equip the reader with the basic accounting knowledge one needs to navigate safely in the business world.

The main purpose of the book is for readers to understand, at an introductory but substantial level, the usefulness and application of Financial Accounting and Financial Analysis.
