Management Accounting For Business

Management Accounting For Business

Management Accounting for Business provides a thorough introduction to the theory and practice of management accounting. Accessible and student friendly, the text excludes the technical and more advanced content that is required by specialist accounting students but offers the general business student on an undergraduate, postgraduate or post-experience course a firm foundation in management accounting. It is the ideal introductory text for all non-accounting students studying management accounting on a modular one or two-semester undergraduate degree course, or as part of an MBA course.
