An introduction to business accounting for managers

Now in its fifth edition, this book dispels much of the mystique surrounding accounting & finance for the non-financial manager. It will enable the reader to communicate more effectively with financial advisers & help to enhance the quality of the financial decisions that managers have to make. It includes such topics as accounting for inflation, the significance of cash management & control, & the development of accounting standards, many of which have not been treated in any single recent, competitive work. This fully revised & updated version incorporates new material on working capital & management, accounting legislation & standard setting, & on the `newer' accounting techniques that have recently been developed.
