Reviews / Votes
"I have no difficulty in confirming Roger's ability and credentials for this project...In terms of innovation and pedagogy the proposal says all the right things. It is more important to see accounting in the context of the business issues rather than technical manipulation...The contents are just as would be required for the market and are up-to-date in terms of including derivatives, comprehensive income and other topical issues." - David Hatherly, Professor Emeritus of Accounting, University of Edinburgh, UK "I like the inclusion of ethics, especially from an international perspective." - Denise Gallagher, Senior Teaching Fellow in Accounting and Finance, Leeds University, UK "Comprehensive coverage of relevant issues and a distinctive thought-provoking, concept-based approach...I give a very strong recommendation to this proposal." - Tom McLean, Lecturer in Accounting, Newcastle University Business School, UKMore details
