N2  - Accounting for Non-Accounting Students has become the leading text in its field. It presents the basic principles of both financial and management accounting in an accessible, non-technical way, making it the ideal text for students from a broad range of disciplines taking a first course in accounting. The fifth edition has undergone substantial revision and includes the following changes:? The text has been restructured into three simple sections: introduction, financial accounting and management accounting? 'Check your learning' answers have been moved to the back of the book rather than straight after the questions? The management accounting section has undergone substantial revision and includes new material on current issues and research, as well as a new chapter on Decision making: specific decisions? The question material has been reorganized and graded, according to level of difficulty? Less emphasis has been placed on manufacturing, with a new chapter 'Other accounts' drawing examples from a range of both manufacturing and service industriesThe authorJohn Dyson BA, MSocSc, PhD, MIMgt, FCA, lectures in the School of Management at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh
