    About this ebook

    Many accounting practices and procedures have their foundation in positive accounting theory. This essay-length study guide explains the major tenets of positive accounting theory in simple to understand language, and then explains how it influences accounting policy selection. Subjects covered in the discussion include positive and normative accounting theories, as well as ex post and ex ante procedures. Examples using intangible assets and financial instruments show how it all works.

    Hercules Bantas

    Dr Hercules Bantas has been teaching and reading the human sciences for the better part of a decade. It is his opinion that he is too often immersed in some weighty tome or other, the authors of which always use one thousand words where one hundred words would suffice. It was while juggling no less than three weighty tomes by the same author and trying to understand what the fellow was trying to say that the idea of The Reluctant Geek Guides was born. He is well aware that publishing clearly written and unambiguous guides to important ideas in the human sciences is frowned upon in some circles, but he's going to do it anyway. Despite his well documented grumpiness, Hercules claims to like people and can be contacted by email at reluctantgeek[at]tpg.com.au.
