Introduction

The School of Accounting, Economics & Statistics looks at various aspects of accounting, such as general accounting, management accounting, auditing and environmental accounting to name a few. Textbooks are available covering all aspects of accounting, as well as extensive journal holdings. Electronic journals can be found in their host databases via the Databases page of this wiki.

Electronic Resources

A full list of all Business and Law databases can be found on the Databases page, however here are those which are of most use to accounting students. For academic journal articles, I would recommend the following databases:

• ABI/INFORM
• Emerald
• Blackwell Synergy
• Science Direct
• Ingenta

ABI/INFORM has the largest amount of publications available on it and is an excellent database to start with.

External Resources

There are many external webpages that can assist the student of accountancy. These may be via Internet Gateways, which essentially take the browser to free sources of information that have been vetted by experts. Two of the best examples of this type of resource are

• Intute:Social Sciences Accountancy
• BUBL Link Accounting
• Biz/ed

As well as these Gateways there are many professional organisations which have useful information on their websites. Here is a list of some that you may find useful.

• Accounting Standards Board
• Financial Repporting Council
• International Accounting Standards Board
• Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales
• Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland
• Chartered Institute of Management Accountants
