The resources listed above are suggestions only and will not necessarily cover all the areas assessable under the Standards, and, indeed, may also cover areas which are not assessable. Tutors and students should be guided at all times by the Standards of Competence for Accounting rather than by particular text books and manuals.

Students should also read as widely as possible in quality daily newspapers, Accounting Technician, in-house circulars and the trade press. In-house resources such as annual reports, individual company balance sheets etc should not be overlooked.

All published workbooks and manuals covering individual units are produced by independent publishers. The AAT does not publish manuals or text books or endorse publishers' material.

Students should not rely on a single textbook in isolation. Most tutors have a book they prefer to use, so ask yours for advice before buying. It's also worth checking out the discussion forums since other AAT student members may have textbooks available they no longer need.
