Accounting In The Business Environment

The second edition of Accounting in the Business Environment continues to meet the growing need for a more relevant approach to accounting in the modern world. The author is concerned to show that accounting is as much about judgements as facts and as much about influencing as informing. The book explains the historical development of accounting in Europe and explores the cultural and structural differences that exist in financial reporting between member states of the European Union. This extends to a discussion of group accounts and accounting for multinational enterprises - all features that lend a marked international perspective to this book. Accounting in the Business Environment is written for undergraduate students on courses with an accounting content, particularly those with an international or European perspective. It is also suitable for postgraduate students of business administration and management.
