This introductory textbook is written for first and second year undergraduate students. It provides a balance between technical and non-technical content and offers a range of questions and answers specially written for the book, not produced from professional past papers. The book brings management accounting into the real world by the extensive use of FT case studies, and is written in an interesting and accessible style. The book takes account of modern economic reality by not focusing excessively on the manufacturing industry, but also including service and public sector organisations in the picture.
