Peter Atrill & Eddie Mc Laney's Accounting & Finance for Non-specialists is an accessible introduction to accounting & finance
...This updated & revised fourth edition of Accounting for Managers builds on the international success of the previous editions in explaining how accounting is used by non-financial managers. Emphasizing the interpretation rather than the construction of accounting information Accounting for Managers encourages a critical rather than an unthinking acceptance of accounting techniques. Whilst immensely valuable for planning decision-making & control users of accounting information need to recognize the assumptions behind & the limitations of particular accounting techniques. As in the previous editions Accounting for Managers links theory with practical examples & case studies drawn from real business situations across a wide range of manufacturing retail & service industries.
