Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book covers in a single comprehensive work two areas that have traditionally been taught as separate subjects. It covers every level of accounting from the shop floor to the board room and shows, with practical examples, how theory is applied every day. Written in a highly accessible style with an absolute minimum of technical jargon this text is the perfect introduction.

Includes index.
