Finance and Accounting for Business gives a user or non-specialist perspective on accounting. It introduces financial and management accounting and finance clearly and comprehensively to business and management students and those from other disciplines who need a broad understanding of this topic for use in their future career.Accounting and finance are 'need to know' subjects for managers and students of business. Until now both students and lecturers have been frustrated by the lack of a book which does justice to the importance of these subjects and which connects with both the theory and the practice of management. Based upon thirty years' teaching experience Bob Ryan has produced an original and dynamic text designed to meet the needs of the student and lecturer. The book gives students on executive or general MBA courses an overview of the role of accounting and finance in business, and is also suitable for undergraduates of business and management studies.
