Product Description

Product Description
Business Accounting and Finance for Non-specialists is aimed at non-specialist students of accounting and finance on a first course in the subject. It gives a lively and wide-ranging survey of the basic principles of finance, financial accounting and management accounting. The unique approach taken in the first Section of the book is to look at small to medium sized business organisations and their role in the economy - how they are set up, factors in their success and failure and how they source funds for expansion. This leads to discussion of the role of financial markets and their need for financial information. Sections 2 and 3 then give an account of financial and management accounting principles, respectively. The text is clearly written and technical jargon is minimal - any technical terms are clearly explained and a glossary of terms is provided. The book does not present the hurdle of double-entry bookkeeping at an early stage - students can progress through the book without double-entry. Illustrative case studies and reference to real-life business examples are used to bring the technical information to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars So simple and to the point!!, 30 Nov 2006
By S. Rezaei Avarzaman "Shahramice" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a having problem understanding Accounting at university (especially first year students). BUY THIS BOOK!!

It is really easy to understand and the examples are very well explained. The book assumes that the reader knows nothing about accounting and it starts from the basics and works its way up.

Very highly recommended to those new to accounting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Business Accounting For Non-Specialist, 2 Jul 2009
By H. Cooper (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A brilliant and well written book which is very easy to read and understand. Combine your reading with the on-line exercises and you will find it even easier to understand. My first book on the subject and I'm surprised at how easy it is to understand. Highly recommended.
