Intermediate Accounting
Donald E. Kieso, Jerry J. Weygandt, Terry D. Warfield, Laura D. Wiley · 19th Edition · ISBN 9781394254439 · Wiley
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Intermediate Accounting (19th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and exam-style practice questions for all 23 chapters.
Overview
Kieso's Intermediate Accounting (19th Edition) is the gold-standard text for the intermediate accounting sequence, building the deep technical fluency in financial reporting that the course and the CPA path demand. It opens with financial reporting standards and the conceptual framework, then works systematically through the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows, the time value of money, and detailed accounting for cash and receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, depreciation and impairments, intangibles, and liabilities. The advanced chapters cover the topics students find hardest — 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 study in the same order your professor teaches and can practice the calculations and entries as exams present them. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the textbook and not a reproduction of it — designed to highlight the priority procedures and reasoning so you can review high-yield material efficiently for exams.
Aligned with the intermediate accounting course sequence and the financial reporting concepts tested on course exams; the content also maps closely to the FAR section of the CPA Exam.
