Financial Accounting Cases

Canadian Financial Accounting Cases, 3rd edition has been developed to bridge the gap between the foundational concepts and the real world. Students are introduced to the case study methodology for financial accounting, which focuses on identifying the issue, understanding implications, developing alternatives, and making recommendations. Students must also be able to understand the overall financial reporting landscape and the overall impact of the individual accounting issues.

The cases range from introductory level to advanced level and can be used as assignments, exams, or for in-class discussions. The cases have been developed using IFRS (Part I), ASPE (Part II) or ASNPO (Part III) as the accounting frameworks, providing students with exposure to many different types of organizational structures, and have been linked to the CPA Competency Map. Instructors are provided with detailed teaching notes and marking keys that will assist in guiding the class discussions and assessments.
