Accounting for Business: An Introduction, second edition, has been thoroughly revised to provide vocational students with an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of key financial principles.
Its business-oriented focus combined with a clear, concise writing style – an approach proven successful in the first edition – helps students gain competency in preliminary accounting concepts and applications in a practical way.
