It covers the more advanced aspects of the syllabus and builds on a first-course in the subject, tackling the more advanced aspects of company accounting such as group accounts, and the basics of management accounting. As well as providing instruction and practice in the preparation of accounting information, the text stresses the need for students to understand the business reasons behind the accountingtechniques. A continuing strength of the book is the large amount of question material provided for practice. Recent past questions from the main examining bodies are included, as well as a useful guide to examination technique at A-Level.
