Authors’ note to tutors bn bn bn
Using the book bn bn
The book is designed to provide readers with a sound introduction to management
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
accounting. It assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and recognises that students
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
using it may come from a wide variety of backgrounds. The book, therefore, tries to avoid
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
technical jargon and does not assume a high level of numerical ability from students. It has
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
been class tested by students on various courses and we have modified and refined the
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
material to take account of their comments. We have also taken account of the comments
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
made by lecturers who used the first nine editions of the book and of specially
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
commissioned reviews.

The book aims to encourage an active approach to learning by providing activities and self-
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
assessment questions at appropriate points. This approach is designed to stimulate thought
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
concerning particular issues and to give the readers the opportunity to test their understanding
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
of the principles covered.

The book is supplemented by a password-controlled lecturers’ website and a student website
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
available to all readers.

The structure of the book allows the tutor to deliver the subject in a number of ways. It can
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
be used as recommended reading for a traditional course based on lectures and tutorials.
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
There are critical review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter that can be
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
used as the basis for tutorials. It could also provide the basis for a distance learning
bn bn bn bn bn bn b n bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
approach for part-time or off-campus students. For these students, the interactive nature of
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
the book may be extremely useful where access to a tutor is restricted. The book can also
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
be used as the basis for an open learning approach for full-time campus-based students. We
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
have successfully used it in this way at the University of Plymouth Business School.
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
Accounting ‘surgeries’ have also been provided to give students the opportunity for one-to-
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
one help with any problems they face.
bn bn bn bn bn bn
The book is appropriate for modules that are designed to be covered in 100 to 150 hours of
bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn bn
study. For full-time students, this will often be covered in one academic year.
