Management Accounting, 2nd Edition

Management Accounting, 2nd edition, reflects the role of management accounting information and how it is used strategically in today’s business environment. Unbridled access to information and intense competition have meant that cost accounting has become an increasingly important tool for managers and accountants alike.

Most textbooks focus on content knowledge and then expect students to ‘magically’ demonstrate skills such as decision making and critical thinking. This textbook is written in a style that is accessible to students and includes features such as a decision-making framework, realistic examples, self-study problems and unique problem material structured to encourage students to think deeply about accounting problems and problem solving.

FEATURES

• A focus on a wide range of business types, including retail, service, manufacturing, not-for-profit, and small and medium-sized entities.
• More consideration of sustainability and a chapter devoted to sustainable management accounting.
• Illustrative examples positioned throughout all chapters to support the key concepts presented.
• Scene setters presenting a range of real business scenarios that introduce the management accounting concepts to be presented in the chapter.
• A focus on cost accounting methods and techniques and the quality of management accounting information used for decision making.
