本改编教材首先介绍美国财务会计准则委员会（FASB）的财务报告概念框架，阐述财务会计的基本理论及以财务报告目标为导向的会计准则，进而通过财务报告的分析、应用及财务报表要素的确认、计量、报告和披露会计方法及程序，诠释框架的理论。然后按照资产、负债、所有者权益的顺序全面、系统、深入地介绍财务报表各具体要素的会计确认、计量的准则和会计处理方法及账务处理程序，追溯会计方法的演变，剖析收益确认与净资产计量之间的关系以及资产、负债、股东权益等交易对现金流的影响，解释财务报表要素的确认、计量之间的联系，及其对报告收益的影响。教材内容密切联系FASB的会计准则，并介绍《国际财务报告准则》（IFRS）及其与Ｕ.S.GAAP的差别，是会计学专业学生深入学习西方会计，了解U.S.GAAP和IFRS，学会分析和运用财务报告信息的首选教材。每章后还提供小结、复习题、选择题、练习题及问题和案例，以帮助学生测试所学知识，更好地掌握教材内容。
