A good, straight forward resource on accounting foundamentals for non-accountants.
Being required to work on an ERP system, it was essential to understand basic book-keeping and accounting concepts. It has been recommended to me by a veteran consultant who used it himself in the '70s to get aquainted with the subject.
It describes the basic concepts and then it goes on with self test questions and answers so that the reader can verify if he/she undertood the concepts.
