Review

"The current structure of the book is very good, the text is well written in clear and precise language, [and] is easy to follow by students." - Dr Agnieszka Herdan, Senior Lecturer, Accounting, University of Greenwich

"The structure is logical and the non-technical writing style is appropriate for general finance students. Furthermore, it is economical for both management and financial accounting to be covered in one textbook."

- Julia Burgess, Lecturer, Management Accounting, University of Winchester

"There is no doubt that the greatest strength of this book is that it is easy to read; that and the practical examples given. I think this book has very good potential to target the MBA markets worldwide."
