CPA Exam Review 2020 - at Least Know This - Financial Accounting and Reporting

Book excerpt: This 2020 edition is for exams between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. At Least Know This publishes a 50-page review for Financial Accounting and Reporting. We do not believe students must memorize 300 pages of review to pass the CPA exam. And, given fewer pages, we find that students have greater retention. To lighten our books, we use wider page margins, decrease font, and eliminate redundancy. We use tables because they structure and compare information efficiently. We teach with examples. And we improve the quality of our writing. The result is FAR in 50 pages. Fake cash method--Classic accounting framework for converting to and from cash flow. This method is intuitive because, in a simple construction, cash and net income are equal and opposite. T-account methods to solve intercompany sales and foreign currency transactions. Updates to reflect the 2019 Lease ASUs and the 2020 Credit Loss ASUs.
