About this title

Review

Peter Scott's Accounting for Business offers an excellent and straightforward introduction to the world of financial and management accounting. (Dr Octavian Ionescu, University of East Anglia)

Accounting for Business is extremely clearly explained and broken down, and this is excellent for the beginner first year students I teach as they need bite-sized chunks to read and understand. (Mrs Gayle Waddell, University of Liverpool)

I have used this textbook for a few years and students enjoy using because it is easy to follow and understand. Accounting for Business makes accounting accessible to people who have not done it before. (Samuel Hinds, University of Surrey)
