Australian edition of successful B-H UK title soon to be republished in UK in a third edition. Originally published for the undergraduate accounting market, but text ideally suited to the post-graduate market. Book contains all the ‘big picture’ elements of an accounting book, but deals with the nature and function of accounting within the framework of a business and assumes the reader/student needs a good understanding of accounting but does not intend pursuing accounting as a profession. The text is divided into 3 parts covering basically: * accounting in broad outline * why and how companies keep their accounts and create their records and * how to analyse and make sense of these records and statements. Accounting for Business covers all the usual areas but without the exhaustive detail and debit and credit transaction analysis which characterises most conventional accounting titles. Accounting for Business - the Australian edition is written as a basic accounting text suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying accounting as part of a general business degree but not specifically studying accounting to become accountants.
