Accounting for Business Reviews

Peter Scott's Accounting for Business offers an excellent and straightforward introduction to the world of financial and management accounting. * Dr Octavian Ionescu, University of East Anglia *
Accounting for Business is extremely clearly explained and broken down, and this is excellent for the beginner first year students I teach as they need bite-sized chunks to read and understand. * Mrs Gayle Waddell, University of Liverpool *
I have used this textbook for a few years and students enjoy using because it is easy to follow and understand. Accounting for Business makes accounting accessible to people who have not done it before. * Samuel Hinds, University of Surrey *
