Elements of Accounting: For Non Accounting Students

Providing the basic principles of accounting for the non-specialist reader, this text assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. The material is presented in a manner intended to encourage lecturers and students to select topics required for their courses. Practice questions with fully worked solutions are included, which should allow the reader to develop an understanding of the purpose of accounting by manipulating the numbers (in contrast to texts for accounting students which concentrate on questions for professional examinations). A full glossary of accounting terms is provided.
