The latest topics are presented in this book including TQM, measuring cost of quality, JIT, ABC, back flush costing and activity-based management. As all businesses are different there is no one accounting system or alternative that is superior to all others in all situations. This book not only demonstrates the mechanics of alternative accounting systems and techniques, but also explains the logic behind the different alternatives.
