Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The theme of this text is the relevance of accounting to an understanding of business. It provides insights into how business activity and accounting information are interlinked through the medium of a series of fictitious case scenarios within which a wide range of operational functions are explored. The scenarios cover a variety of business settings - for example, manufacturing industry, financial services, regulated business and the public sector. The functional perspective of the book generates insights which have implications for the development of accounting.
