Intermediate Accounting
Donald E. Kieso, Jerry J. Weygandt, Terry D. Warfield · 18th Edition · ISBN 9781119790976 · Wiley
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Intermediate Accounting (18th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and exam-style practice questions for all 23 chapters.
Overview
Kieso's Intermediate Accounting (18th Edition) is the definitive text for the intermediate accounting sequence and one of the most demanding courses in any accounting program. It develops deep, technical mastery of financial reporting, beginning with the conceptual framework and the accounting information system, then moving through the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows, the time value of money, and detailed treatment of cash and receivables, inventory valuation, property, plant and equipment, intangibles, and liabilities. The later chapters tackle the hard topics that separate strong students — stockholders' equity, EPS, investments, revenue recognition, income taxes, pensions, leases, and accounting changes. This study guide is built to match the textbook chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order your professor teaches and can work through the complex calculations the way exams present them. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the textbook and not a copy of it — focused on the high-yield procedures, entries, and reasoning so you can review efficiently for exams and the CPA-relevant FAR material.
Aligned with the intermediate accounting course sequence and the financial reporting topics tested on course exams; the material also maps closely to the FAR section of the CPA Exam.
