An introduction to the fundamentals of accounting and how it is used that will help students apply accounting as a usable, everyday business tool.

Written by an award-winning teacher and former management accountant, it encourages students to engage with the material by using questions and worked examples to test knowledge and understanding as they read. It includes a glossary of financial terms that is a useful guide to the language of business.
