This introduction to business accounting and finance book will motivate and immediately help students to grasp the essentials of both financial and cost & management accounting through a studied and practical approach. It is aimed at the higher education level and is used primarily for 1st year undergraduates and also facilitates their learning in their 2nd year modules.

The book provides a comprehensive and flexible approach to business and management accounting. It is an ideal book to introduce students studying accounting and business degree courses at university or college level and has been used for undergraduates at Bournemouth University and its partner, Bournemouth & Poole College. The book has also been the chosen text book for the Institute of Commercial Management and is a significant source of reference for the Association of Accounting Technician course for a number of years.

It uses a unique discussion of the principles of financial and management accounting which allows students to put individual skills in context and learn more quickly and independently. In the final chapter of the book there is a short section on Basic Maths and this should prove useful for those accounting and finance students who may need some additional support with commercial maths.

Associated with the book, is a comprehensive Resource Pack that has 24 sections of slides reflecting the chapters of the book. It will prove to be an invaluable facilitator for both learning and teaching. For students, it will be particularly important if they miss lectures and will help them catch up with their studies.
