Concepts and Practices

EQUIPS STUDENTS THE FOUNDATION NEEDED TO MASTER GOVERNMENT AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ACCOUNTING

Government and Not-for-Profit Accounting: Concepts and Practices, Tenth Edition, adds former GASB Assistant Director, Dean Michael Mead, as an author. The fully revised tenth edition provides a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to the accounting and financial reporting standards that shape the public and not-for-profit sectors. Written by leading experts—including those directly involved in setting the standards—this textbook not only explains the technical requirements but also delves into their purpose, implications, and real-world applications.

Emphasizing concepts over rote memorization, Government and Not-for-Profit Accounting develops critical-thinking skills that enable students to analyze financial statements, interpret key reports, and make informed decisions in the dynamic world of public sector and not-for-profit finance.

Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in governmental and not-for-profit accounting, financial analysis, performance management, and auditing, Government and Not-for-Profit Accounting is ideal for students pursuing degrees in accounting, public administration, or not-for-profit management. It is also a valuable resource for executive education programs and in-house training for professionals working in government and not-for-profit sectors.
