Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The market-leading European text on management accounting and comprehensive authority on all aspects of the subject has been streamlined and substantially redesigned in its 6th edition to make it even more suitable for the needs of today's student. The aim of the new edition is to explain the principles involved in the design and evaluation of management and cost accounting information systems. The emphasis in the book is on management accounting systems that will be used for internal decision-making purposes within an organisation, however, cost accounting systems for external reporting are also comprehensively covered. It has been brought up to date with the latest developments in the subject. Having been made stronger pedagogically with the addition of the answers to the questions and more real-world mini cases, the text brings home the relevance of the subject matter to the real world of business.

Includes index.
