'...this excellent workbook will be of use to company executives having no training in accounting. It will also provide excellent support for anyone undertaking formal study in accounting.' Economic Outlook and Business Review Reviews from seventh edition: 'The text flows naturally and questions are dropped in tactfully, so that you gently find yourself becoming more perceptive (answers are on the same page or next, so no fumbling to the back of the book to find them)...Anyone who enjoys accounts will find this book irresistible.' Accounting Technician 'This latest edition of a very relevant and useful book is most welcome...The text is well structured and logical in its development of the subject. Any study of the meaning of company accounts is generally an arduous and time-consuming task but this book achieves a right balance between basic and detailed material and also between the practical and theoretical aspects of the subject ...A decidedly "user-friendly" text well worth a place in any company library or on the book shelf of any student.' Company Accountant '...this is a readable, user-friendly book which, with its workbook approach, would benefit financial and non-financial managers and readers unfamiliar with financial issues.' Chartered Secretary
