Advanced Accounting

By Patrick Hopkins and Robert Halsey

Formerly published by Cambridge Business Publishers, now published by Sage

This advanced financial accounting textbook was written to address the challenges students face when learning complex topics such as business combinations, consolidations, governmental accounting, and not-for-profit reporting. Drawing on many years of classroom experience, the authors designed the book to emphasize conceptual understanding and intuition before introducing accounting mechanics. Rather than overwhelming students with multiple bookkeeping approaches presented simultaneously, the text clearly separates and explains pre-consolidation methods, beginning with the equity method to establish a strong conceptual foundation. Mechanics are introduced only after students understand the underlying logic of the accounting standards, helping them build transferable knowledge applicable in real-world practice.

Written in a student-friendly, conversational style, the book integrates real companies, real disclosures, and professional insights throughout. The Fifth Edition continues to align closely with the CPA Evolution Model Curriculum, ensuring students develop the core knowledge and skills needed for success on the Uniform CPA Exam and in professional practice.
