Accounting (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Accounting

In the preparation of the matter set out in succeeding pages, it has been assumed that the reader has a general knowledge of the theory of book-keeping, and the aim has been to submit, as an introduction to the practical application of the science of accounting, the general features of the more important sections of accounts to which that application may be directed. While this work goes beyond the purely elementary stage of the subject, it does not pretend to be exhaustive, and the practitioner desiring special knowledge, whether in relation to such duties as those of the Costs Accountant, Company Secretary or otherwise, will find advantage in reference to works dealing specifically and in greater detail with the problems of the particular branch of the subject in question.

The matter of Income Tax, in view of probable legislative changes in the near future, has been omitted from this edition.
