This book is based on the text "Accounting in a Business Context" by Berry and Jarvis. It is specifically written for students studying for HND, degree and professional qualifications such as HCIMA in service sector management with particular emphasis on hospitality and tourism industries. It has a strong theoretical foundation but is written in a style which is easy to understand by non-accountancy students. The book covers both financial reporting and analysis, and aspects of planning control and decision-making at an introductory level, providing a solid foundation for further studies. In this text important concepts are highlighted and defined as key concepts. Each chapter contains case studies taken from real situations in the industries which brings the text alive and helps the reader relate to the topic. The book lends itself to the use of IT as a learning tool. In addition the book contains a series of review questions and problems for discussion and analysis which are specifically designed to test the students' understanding of the topics covered. This book should be of interest to students at any level taking courses in travel and tourism, hospitality and catering management.

This is the first edition of a new introductory financial accounting text, from the best-selling author of "Accounting in a Business Context". The first five chapters of the book introduce the basic accounting principles. They are set in the context of a business which is, in the main, cash based. Accrual accounting is only introduced once the reader clearly understands the idea of the balance sheet and profit and loss account, their contents and the relationship between them. The main medium employed to explain and apply the principles is the worksheet. This has already proved to be a popular and effective teaching vehicle which has been thoroughly classroom tested in the author's sister text. Many users will be particularly attracted by the possibilities of incorporating IT based approaches to teaching. The worksheet lends itself especially to spreadsheet applications. Other introductory texts tends to ignore these possibilities, or to force them upon the reaer. "Financial Accounting: An Introduction" is a useful learning vehicle. The writing style is clear and accessible, and a number of special features make it especially reader friendly. These include: key concepts, highlighted and easy to find, which aid understanding and provide a quick route through the text for revision purposes; review questions and problems for discussion and analysis at the end of each chapter; worksheets to explain and apply principles; cumulative examples which colsolidate previous data as well as introduce new concepts and techniques. Ideal for undergraduate accounting students, this book is also designed to be used on BTEC HND, post-experience and post-management courses. It should be welcomed by students taking the professional accounting examinations of CIMA, ACCA and AAT.

Accounting in a Business Context covers all the key areas of financial and management accounting, but is written specifically for non-accounting students. It focuses on how managers will actually use information, rather than how accountants prepare it. This way it avoids burdening the general business student with unnecessary technical skills or obscuring the core management issues with accounting jargon. This fully updated and revised edition takes account of all the latest ASB developments, and includes new material on ratio analysis and activity based costing.
