Synopsis

Part of a pocket book series aimed at demystifying business and management. In several introductory essays, key issues are examined concerning accounting and the role of accountants as the 21st century beckons. In the majority of the book, clear and concise, and often irreverent definitions are given of all the main terms and jargon used in the international world of accounting and accountants, from "above the line" and "absorption costing" to "working capital" and "Z-score".
