Accounting in a Business Context

Accounting in a Business Context covers all the key areas of financial and management accounting, but is written specifically for non-accounting students. It focuses on how managers will actually use information, rather than how accountants prepare it. This way it avoids burdening the general business student with unnecessary technical skills or obscuring the core management issues with accounting jargon. This fully updated and revised edition takes account of all the latest ASB developments, and includes new material on ratio analysis and activity based costing.

Robin Jarvis is Professor of Accounting at Kingston Business School. He is co-author of Microcomputers and Accounting, Bank Lending: Beyond the Theory and Accounting in a Business Context
