These Intro to Accounting revision notes (University of Bath Economics) provide a concise, exam-focused summary of core financial and management accounting principles. They clearly explain income statements, balance sheets, trial balances, depreciation, accruals, prepayments, bad debts, provisions, non-current asset disposals, equity structures for limited companies, and key accounting ratios across performance, liquidity, efficiency, investor, and lending measures. The notes also cover product costing, break-even analysis, and CVP, making them ideal for mastering period-end adjustments, financial statement preparation, and ratio analysis for both financial and management accounting exams.
