Evaluation
Financial Accounting focuses heavily on finding solutions to numerical problems. With that in mind, most units will include a number of problems.

Your solutions should thoroughly address the issue and present the findings in a meaningful format similar to those developed within the chapters and as part of the review exercises solutions. Part value may be assigned for incorrect responses providing evidence of understanding of the principles exist.
