Overview

For more than 60 years, Accounting for Governmental & Nonprofit Entities has led the market in governmental accounting. It is a comprehensive government and not-for-profit accounting text, written for students who will be auditing and working in public and not-for-profit sector entities. Originally published in 1951 and written by Professor R. M. Mikesell, this book and the many subsequent editions revised by Professors Leon Hay, Earl Wilson, Susan Kattelus, Jacqueline Reck, Suzanne Lowensohn, and Daniel Neely have given generations of instructors and students a comprehensive knowledge of the specialized accounting and financial reporting practices of government and not-for-profit organizations, as well as an understanding of how those organizations can better meet the information needs of a diverse set of financial statement users and decision makers.
