Itis aimed primarily at students who are studying a singleunit in accounting and finance as part of a universityundergraduate or MBA course, including courses inbusiness studies, economics, engineering and a range ofother non-specialist accounting courses. Given the contentand style of the text it is suitable for students studying ata distance, and for those who are studying independently,perhaps with no formal qualification in mind.In writing the text we have been particularly mindfulthat most of its readers will not have studied accountingand finance before. We have, therefore, tried to write inan accessible style, avoiding technical jargon. Throughout,we have endeavoured to ensure that basic concepts arethoroughly explained. Underpinning the text?s coverageis an ?open learning? approach?that is to say, it involvesthe reader in a way that is not traditionally found intextbooks, delivering topics much as a good lecturer woulddo and encouraging readers to interact with the text. Thisapproach distinguishes itself through a variety of integratedand end-of-chapter assessment material, which has beenlargely updated for this edition and is outlined below.
