Encapsulating the essentials of book-keeping as well as the rules of accounting, the book guides the student through the basics in a non-technical style, and illustrates where and why these concepts are applied in the real world.

• revised and expanded case studies, taken from the service sector and the public sector, as well as from diverse international companies
• excerpts from recently published company accounts - now fully aligned with IAS
• expanded discussion of technical procedures, including the balanced scorecard, activity based costing and variance analysis
