This dynamic case study carves new ground in accounting education.

Researched by leading academics and presented by David Koch, this DVD series draws on the ABC Learning story to examine introductory accounting issues. The DVD is an exciting new teaching resource to be used in universities, TAFE colleges and high schools across Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

It provides a platform to discuss basic accounting principles in more detail and highlights to students the relevance of the topics they are studying. A short introductory segment sets the scene, introducing key players and basic accounting principles that were ignored. Subsequent segments examine the relevant accounting issues in detail:

Statement of cash flow - cash is king

Statement of financial position - views from the balance sheet

+ Statement of financial performance - the bottom line

+ Lessons learnt

To complement the DVD, detailed financial accounts and other supporting material are available on the CPA Australia website.
