Eighth edition

Accounting for Non-Accounting Students is highly regarded for its accessibility and clarity. The book combines user-friendly language and real-world examples, making it ideal for students with little or no prior knowledge of financial or management accounting. It covers the essentials of book-keeping and the rules of accounting in a non-technical style and highlights the questions all non-accountants, wishing to excel in their studies and career, should ask.

 

Continuing the successes of past editions, the author’s unique and user-friendly features are ideal for students who may be new to accounting:

·        Special introductions explain why each chapter is important for non-accountants.

·        An up-to-date news story at the start of each chapter provides examples of some of the real-world issues accountants face every day.

·        A full-colour design aids navigation and enlivens the text.

·        'Key points' sections in each chapter summarize points to remember, and 'Check your learning' sections contain short questions to help you recap your learning.

·        Each chapter concludes with ‘Questions you should ask’.

This eighth edition of Accounting for Non-Accounting Students combines the most successful features of previous editions with some brand new material and some substantially revised chapters:
