  This 2nd edition offers a coherent and up-to-date text, which provides a synthesis of theory and research. Part 1 discusses business organizations; part 2 looks at the role that accounting can play in decision making; part 3 discusses the role of accounting in activities such as performance measurement and evaluation; part 4 looks at the role of accounting in management control; and part 5 is comprised of case studies. This second edition includes new examples and case studies that link the theory to real life situations, more end-of-chapter questions and increased emphasis on management control. This book should be of interest to intermediate and advanced students of accounting, business studies and management studies on degree, diploma and professional courses.

  This text's great achievement has been to place management accounting in its proper context within a realistic management control system. Without ignoring the technical side of management accounting, the authors demonstrate vividly that the behavioural and organizational aspects are of equal importance. 'The beauty of the book is its completeness and coherence. It is eminently accessible to students and can be used equally as a self-contained unit in second year teaching or as the foundation for part of a third year course ...- It deserves the attention of anybody teaching management accounting on degree courses and is strongly recommended for consideration for adoption for second and third year courses.'
