Accounting Workbook For Dummies provides hands-on learning and practice for vital accounting concepts. Though written to go hand-in-hand with Accounting For Dummies, this practical guide makes the perfect companion to any accounting text and can even be used as a stand-alone guide to accounting basics. Anyone taking a course in accounting can use the workbook without having previously read the For Dummies accounting books. This valuable study guide includes additional and complementary examples, demonstration problems, true/false and multiple-choice questions, exercises, chapter outlines, and blank working papers and spreadsheets.

With a high level of competition among CPA students, Accounting Workbook For Dummies is a valuable resource.
