Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging works as a supplement to your intermediate accounting, advanced accounting, MBA finacial accounting, or financial statement analysis course. It can also be used for an accounting theory or accounting topics course, or similar courses offered in master's of accounting programs, 150-hour programs, or MBA programs. If you teach any of these courses and would like more coverage of derivatives, this text is the perfect solution. While many books used for these courses contain some coverage of derivatives, instructors must spend valuable time preparing their own materials in order to thoroughly cover this complex subject. Trombley's text provides the desired information and depth, allowing you to cover derivatives in class without burdensome prep work. Requiring nothing more than a basic understanding of financial accounting, Trombley explains options, forward, futures, swaps, and other types of dirivatives, and helps students understand applications of derivative financial instruments.
