Synopsis

A comprehensive core text for management accounting students which establishes the fundamental theories of all aspects of the subject before progressing to more in-depth exploration. Clear learning objectives, a strong focus on application and a large bank of questions and resources underpin the practical approach to management accounting. It presents strategic and traditional management accounting topics and, where appropriate, revision questions will compare approaches of both methods. Recent research work is mentioned where more strategic accounting techniques are explained, such as Activity Based Costing and Balanced Scorecard, encouraging students to explore topics further. End-of-chapter questions are of exam-standard as set by both third level institutions and accounting professional bodies in Ireland. Solutions are available to selected questions, with each solution listing key learning notes containing hints and tips to aid the student a feature unique to this book.
