Accounting

Résumé du livre

Accounting: Information for Decisions imparts to students the importance of accounting as a source of real business intelligence. Written to address the needs of both non-accounting and accounting majors, at both undergraduate and MBA level, this timely text emphasises the use of accounting in everyday business activities. Focusing on the use of accounting information for decision-making, Accounting: Information for Decisions places students in hypothetical situations in which management decisions need to be made. Students learn both when and why accounting information is essential to communicating important information within an organisation, so that as managers they can make informed choices. The first half of the text demonstrates how organisations use accounting information to make financing, investing and operating decisions. The second half emphasises managerial accounting as a key communication process for management decision-making.
