Description
This edition recognizes the current trends in management accounting and presents the basic concepts and techniques. Although basic concepts in management accounting have not changed dramatically, the application of those concepts has been significantly influenced by a competitive world environment and significant changes in the cost accounting systems used by large companies and corporations. The focus of the text remains the understanding of costs and cost behaviour and the use of cost information for planning and control decisions. Coverage of modern trends in management accounting has been integrated into most of the chapters, all four financial accounting chapters (17-20) have been updated to reflect recent pronouncements and a four-colour design incorporates real business photos.
