Answer:
I just studied some of these subjects at University. Some books were not that good, but I have an excellent text book for Financial Accounting. I think it has a title of "Financial Accounting" and the authors are Needles & Powers. It is an American book. I never liked accounting & always thought it was hard, but this book is so simple it makes accounting very easy. check it out, it's really simple and straight forward.
You're uni may not have a reading list, but they should still tell you what books you'll need - that's what my uni did.
Don't waste your money yet, cos you'll be spending hundreds soon! The annoying thing is that a lot of the books you might only need one chapter!
It's a shame too that you hadn't asked this question sooner cos I probably had most of the books you'll need!
