? 'Go back over this again' feature containing a mix of further examples, written exercises, true or false questions, and annotated accounting information to help consolidate learning;
? 'Show me how to do it' videos, which provide practical demonstrations of more complex accounting tasks;
? Web links to primary source material and articles, which provide further learning opportunities around companies and organizations covered in the book.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Peter Scott's Accounting for Business offers an excellent and straightforward introduction to the world of financial and management accounting. * Dr Octavian Ionescu, University of East Anglia * Accounting for Business is extremely clearly explained and broken down, and this is excellent for the beginner first year students I teach as they need bite-sized chunks to read and understand. * Mrs Gayle Waddell, University of Liverpool * I have used this textbook for a few years and students enjoy using because it is easy to follow and understand. Accounting for Business makes accounting accessible to people who have not done it before. * Samuel Hinds, University of Surrey *
