About this title

Synopsis

Success in Accounting starts here!

 

Accounting: an introduction by Atrill provides a clear and approachable introduction to accounting and finance for those seeking to understand the main concepts and their practical application to good decision-making.

 

Atrill emphasises the interpretation of financial information for business decision-making, rather than focusing on the collection of financial data and the preparation of statements and reports.

 

The content of this resource is aimed primarily at learners studying a single unit in accounting and finance as part of an undergraduate or MBA course, who do not require in-depth theoretical or technical detail..

About the Author

Peter Atrill is a freelance academic and author working with leading institutions in the UK, Europe and SE Asia. He was previously Head of Accounting and law and Head of Business and Management at the Plymouth University Business School.

Eddie McLaney is Visiting Fellow in Accounting and Finance at the University of Plymouth.

Emeritus Professor David Harvey is a former Pro Vice-Chancellor at the University of Southern Queensland. After qualifying as an accountant in the United Kingdom, David began lecturing in 1971 at Portsmouth Polytechnic (now Portsmouth University) with a subsequent move to Plymouth Polytechnic (now the University of Plymouth) in 1977. During his time in the United Kingdom he developed a keen interest in curriculum development and teaching methods and was involved with the writing of several books with an open learning style, many of these in collaboration with Peter Atrill and Eddie McLaney. During this time he also completed a Masters degree in Managerial Financial Controls and a PhD in the areas of investment and financing decisions. This research work covered both traditional investment appraisal and corporate strategy.

In 1991 he moved to Australia to take up the position of Professor of Accounting and Head of the Centre for Accounting and Finance at the University of New England (Northern Rivers), which subsequently became Southern Cross University. In 1992 he became the Dean of the Faculty of Business and Computing, a position he held until 1996, before reverting to his Professorship. In 2000 he took up the position of the Dean of the Faculty of Commerce at the University of Southern Queensland. In 2001 the Faculty of Commerce was merged with the Faculty of Business and David became Dean of the enlarged Faculty of Business. David has had extensive experience in developing and teaching programs internationally. His most recent position was as Pro Vice-Chancellor (International Quality), a position he held from 2004 until his retirement in 2005.
