This new introductory text
is aimed at non-specialist students of accounting and finance on a first course in the
subject. It presents students with a 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 some 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. Illustrative case studies are used to bring
the technical information to life. Business Accounting and Finance includes within the
text as many examples as possible, to give students valuable practice in using their new
skills. Other pedagogic elements include objective test questions, questions based around
case studies, suggested group learning activities for use in class, individual learning
activities, discussion questions and more-complex questions to test more able/interested
students.
