The book is intended primarily for accounting students who are pursuing a one or two semester basic introductory cost and management accounting course.

This book is a companion volume to Management and Cost Accounting, which includes more advanced topics not suitable for introductory courses. Overall, the book is a rigorous, clear and easy-to understand introduction to cost and management accounting, with a tried and tested successful format that has enabled literally thousands of students to pass their exams. The book has an accompanying Student's Manual, which is an optional purchase for students. It contains answers to Review Problems in the white-tinted text boxes.
