Many students have a great difficulty in understanding accounting language. Over the years the author, Jeffery Slater, found himself asked countless times to come up with simple definitions, simple examples to back up these definitions, and some type of organization which would get the point across in a clear and understandable manner.

With this inspiration, the birth of Simplifying Accounting Language took place. The goal of the book is not to replace an accounting textbook, nor the accounting instructor, nor the accounting support material. Simplifying Accounting Language uses simple definitions, simple examples, and a touch of humor to present brief and clear definitions to the terminology used in accounting

Simplifying Accounting Language will benefit:
1. A student in an Accounting I or II course
2. Those in managerial or advanced accounting courses
3. A student in Continuing Ed and Community Service courses
4. Students in Basic Bookkeeping courses
5. Those professionals who communicate with accountants
