This book covers all syllabuses relating to cost and management accounting apart from the 'higher' levels of the CIMA examinations. By encompassing both cost and management accounting in a single book, much of the overlapping between the two subjects (which really are only one subject, the distinction is purely historical) is eliminated and the whole of the subject starts at the bottom on the shop-floor and ends in the boardroom - Back cover.
