Presentation of financial statements
Follow a report from its preparation decisions to its final statements. Six connected topics explain presentation, accounting changes, subsequent events, performance, financial position and cash flows. Original cases and printable workings show how the numbers connect. The scope follows the sixth-edition Financial Reporting study guide, published in October 2022.
These independent resources use an October 2022 study context. Check the historical standards and assumptions identified with each topic and printable.
