Skills for Accounting Research, 5e

By Dennis Beresford and Shelby Collins

Formerly published by Cambridge Business Publishers, now published by Sage

This textbook prepares students to confidently research, analyze, and communicate accounting issues from start to finish--skills that are increasingly essential in today's highly regulated business environment. Designed to mirror professional practice, the book teaches students how to identify researchable questions, locate relevant authoritative guidance, and apply that guidance to real accounting issues. Rather than learning research by reading about it, students actively practice research throughout each chapter using realistic scenarios and actual excerpts from accounting research tools, including the FASB Codification. The text also emphasizes effective technical communication, helping students learn how to document conclusions through accounting memos, emails, and presentations.

Ideal for undergraduate and graduate accounting research courses, this book also serves as a valuable supplement in intermediate and advanced accounting classes, as well as practitioner and staff-training programs. Its modular structure allows instructors to tailor coverage based on course objectives while keeping students engaged in applied, professional-level research.
