Accounting for Business

Today, more and more non-accounting courses at National Diploma, professional examination and degree level are calling for a detailed working knowledge of accounting and finance. Notwithstanding this trend, there are few texts which are both comprehensive and detailed enough for the requirements of the various syllabi. Accounting for Business Management fills the gap with distinction and provides complete coverage of the basics of accounting in a single "user friendly" volume. The book explains accounting from the perspective of those who will use it as a management tool and who, typically, will study the subject for up to a year. Both financial accounting and management accounting are lucidly explained with the minimum of jargon, the material presented is relevant and up-to-date, and plentiful self-testing questions, with solutions, are given. Worked spreadsheet examples are also included, a feature missing from rival texts. This work will also appeal to practising managers and to proprietors of small businesses who seek a no-nonsense explanation of accounting.
