Summary: Accounting for Non-Accounting Students has firmly established itself over five editions as the market leading text in its field. This highly regarded text offers a clear and non-technical introduction to the basic principles of both financial and management accounting. Building on the success of previous editions, the sixth edition places even more emphasis on helping students understand the concepts of accounting and applying what they learn to the real world. The new edition includes a wide selection of news articles and real-world accounts allowing students to relate their learning to practice. It encourages a confident but critical approach to the range of accounting statements non-specialists are likely to encounter in their professional careers via a range of questions and thought-provoking activities. This text is ideal for students from a broad range of disciplines taking a first course in accounting.
