Publisher's Synopsis
Now in its fifth edition, this book aims to dispel much of the mystique surrounding accounting and finance for the non-financial manager. It will enable the reader to communicate more effectively with financial advisers and help to enhance the quality of the financial decisions that managers have to make. It includes such topics as accounting for inflation, the significance of cash management and control and the development of accounting standards, many of which have not been treated in any single, recent, competitive work.;This fully revised and updated version incorporates new material on working capital and management, accounting legislation and standard setting, and on the "newer" accounting techniques that have recently been developed.
