Synopsis

Financial Accounting for Non-specialists follows in the vein of other texts in the Atrill and McLaney series: presenting the key concepts of financial accounting without going into too much unnecessary technical detail. The text focuses on using financial information, rather than the preparation of accounts and as such, avoids the use of double-entry bookkeeping throughout the text, summarising the main principles in an appendix at the end of the book.
