9 Preface to the First Edition I am pleased to place before the esteemed readers the much awaited book Advanced Accountancy, Vol. II. The encouraging response to my books Advanced Accountancy, Vol. I and An Introduction to Accountancy, is a matter of great satisfaction and privilege for me. The delay in bringing out this volume was due to reasons beyond my control and I express my sincere apology to the esteemed readers for the inconvenience caused to them. Advanced Accountancy, Vol. II is a companion volume to the book Advanced Accountancy, Vol. I. It consists of three sections. Section 1 deals with general accounting principles applicable to Company Accounts. Here, topics such as Issue and Redemption of Shares and Debentures have been explained with complete clarity and simplicity of exposition. Section 2 explains preparation of Final Accounts relating to certain specific types of companies such as banking and insurance, besides simplifying in a lucid style the intricacies involved in the consolidation of accounts of a Group. Section 3 is meant to give the students a bird s eye view of Management Accounting a growing and challenging branch of accounting. Here, besides funds flow and cash flow analysis, popular topics such as financial statements analysis and inflation accounting have been explained. Throughout the development of the book, it has been my endeavour to tailor its approach, subject matter and presentation according to the requirements of its users mainly students. The language has been kept simple and the entire discussion has been built on a logical and coherent outline. Particular care has been taken to explain those complex and intricate points which really trouble students. The text matter is accompanied with adequate illustrative material and exhaustive working notes. At the end of each chapter unsolved problems with detailed answers have been given for recapitulation and better grasp of the subject. Questions from latest university and professional examinations have been incorporated to make the students familiar with the latest examinations trends. The book, thus in its present form, covers exhaustively the course contents of the students preparing for B.Com, M.Com, CA, ICWA and Company Secretaries examinations. Constructive and helpful suggestions for improvement in the book will be gratefully acknowledged. July, 1984 Dr S N Maheshwari
