Introduction

• Would you like a bank of handouts without having to do anything more than photocopy them?

• Would you like to photocopy an exercise without worrying that you might be infringing copyright?

· Ever had a student who wants another way of explaining that important point?

• How many times have you heard the phrase 'have you got a / another handout on this Miss/Sir?’

• Do you sometimes cover for a colleague with 10 minutes to go and with nothing prepared?

• Ever wondered what to do about 'stretching exercises' on Active Schemes of Work?

Resources for Business Finance is a resource pack full of handouts and exercises that you can just pick up, photocopy and use.

They are in differing formats so, even if you use them in every lesson, there is a slightly different learning style covered.

There are examples ready to use and exercises with answers.

And you can photocopy them – ALL of them – as many times as you want, with no copyright problems.

They cover not just Financial but Managerial accounting as well.

Primarily for accounting tutors and lecturers in further education, materials are useful for AVCE, BTEC, GCSE, A-Level, AAT, CIMA, ACCA, HNC/D, Degree ... any level you want.

Humour helps you to make accounts a lighter subject - especially for those students who 'DON’T WANT TO BE ACCOUNTANTS' or say 'I CAN’T DO MATHS' but there is sufficient context to take students to a relatively high level of understanding.

Even if you use the Pack in every lesson, slightly different learning styles are covered. It is also ideal for use on short courses or to explain important financial concepts to management students on residential weekend courses. There is enough material for a short seminar, or a one or even a two-day course covering the key areas of financial and management accounting.
