This updated and revised fourth edition of Accounting for Managers builds on the international success of the previous editions in explaining how accounting is used by non-financial managers. Emphasizing the interpretation rather than the construction of accounting information, Accounting for Managers encourages a critical, rather than an unthinking acceptance of accounting techniques. Whilst immensely valuable for planning, decision-making and control, users of accounting information need to recognize the assumptions behind, and the limitations of particular accounting techniques. As in the previous editions, Accounting for Managers links theory with practical examples and case studies drawn from real business situations across a wide range of manufacturing, retail and service industries.

Supplementing the "Official CIMA Learning Systems and Revision Cards", this kit consolidates learning by providing an extensive bank of practice questions. Each solution provides an in depth analysis of the correct answer. It is suitable for independent study or tutored revision course, helping you prepare with confidence and pass first time.
