Accounting for Success

Guide To Short Case Resolution

FOREWORD

My book is intended for students and candidates called upon to resolve multi-subjects integrated cases during their accounting studies.

The ideas set out in this book result from over thirty years of experience in case resolution, which experience derives from university teaching, consulting work performed for public accounting firms and the marking of professional exams. Incidentally, over the years, I have taken part in more than 75 national marking centers.

The resolution of a multi-subjects case, within the confines of a particular context, represents one of the greatest challenges encountered throughout accounting studies. My objective is to promote learning on your part by developing a practical and structured approach. To this end, I have illustrated my comments by using examples taken, among others, from the detailed analysis of a short case appended hereto.

Case resolution and analysis enable you to apply your knowledge and to exercise your judgment under various circumstances, with a view to undeniably enhancing any studies in accounting you may undertake. In this vein, I simply wish for you to appreciate the drafting of your cases.

It is with great pleasure that I share with you the sum of all my work, in the hope of fostering your own Success.

Dr. Sylvie Deslauriers
