Download and print this order form. Practice exams and regional and state Concept Builders (explanations of frequently used problem formats) are still under construction. |
| UIL Accounting Concepts |
| The UIL Accounting Concepts List for 2008-09 is posted. It remains the same as last year's list. This list will be used for future years as well, as long as the current state-adopted textbooks are to be used. |
| High School State-Adopted Texts |
| The content of the UIL Accounting contest materials is based on the following state-adopted materials for first-year accounting: Glencoe Accounting Real-World Applications & Connections, Fifth Edition, copyright 2004; South-Western Century 21 Accounting, Seventh Edition (Texas Edition), copyright 2004. Southwestern offers a General Journal approach textbook and a Multicolumn Journal approach textbook. These publishers may print subsequent editions. The UIL Accounting contest materials will continue to be based on the editions originally adopted for classroom use in the State of Texas (as listed above). |
