This book is aimed at business students rather than accountants: the users, not the producers, of financial information. Business students who use this book will be equipped with the knowledge needed to understand and use the information produced by accountants.

The content is supported by strong pedagogical features, including activities and exam-style practice questions. The companion website features a wealth of ancillary material including chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides and interactive progress tests. | | Contents note: | Chapter 1: Nature and purpose of accounting; Chapter 2: Accounting principles and rules; Chapter 3: Importance of cash; Chapter 4:The accounting system; Chapter 5: The trial balance; Chapter 6: Measuring financial performance; Chapter 7: Measuring financial position; Chapter 8: Financial statements of a sole trader; Chapter 9: Financial statements of a partnership; Chapter 10: Financial statements of a limited company; Chapter 11: Analysing financial statements; Chapter 12: Importance of cost information; Chapter 13: Costing for product direct costs; Chapter 14: Costing for indirect costs; Chapter 15: Costing for specific orders and continous operations; Chapter 16: Activity-based costing; Chapter 17: Marginal costing; Chapter 18: Budgetary control; Chapter 19: Standard costing; Chapter 20: Capital investment appraisal; Chapter 21: Discounted cash flow. |
