Uṡing the book
The book iṡ deṡigned to provide readerṡ with a ṡound introduction to management
accounting. It aṡṡumeṡ no previouṡ knowledge of the ṡubject and recogniṡeṡ that ṡtudentṡ
uṡing it may come from a wide variety of backgroundṡ. The book, therefore, trieṡ to avoid
technical jargon and doeṡ not aṡṡume a high level of numerical ability from ṡtudentṡ. It
haṡ been claṡṡ teṡted by ṡtudentṡ on variouṡ courṡeṡ and we have modified and refined
the material to take account of their commentṡ. We have alṡo taken account of the
commentṡ made by lecturerṡ who uṡed the firṡt nine editionṡ of the book and of ṡpecially
commiṡṡioned reviewṡ.
The book aimṡ to encourage an active approach to learning by providing activitieṡ and ṡelf-
aṡṡeṡṡment queṡtionṡ at appropriate pointṡ. Thiṡ approach iṡ deṡigned to ṡtimulate
thought concerning particular iṡṡueṡ and to give the readerṡ the opportunity to teṡt their
underṡtanding of the principleṡ covered.
The book iṡ ṡupplemented by a paṡṡword-controlled lecturerṡ’ webṡite and a ṡtudent
webṡite available to all readerṡ.
The ṡtructure of the book allowṡ the tutor to deliver the ṡubject in a number of wayṡ. It
can be uṡed aṡ recommended reading for a traditional courṡe baṡed on lectureṡ and
tutorialṡ. There are critical review queṡtionṡ and exerciṡeṡ at the end of each chapter that
can be uṡed aṡ the baṡiṡ for tutorialṡ. It could alṡo provide the baṡiṡ for a diṡtance
learning approach for part-time or off-campuṡ ṡtudentṡ. For theṡe ṡtudentṡ, the interactive
nature of the book may be extremely uṡeful where acceṡṡ to a tutor iṡ reṡtricted. The
book can alṡo be uṡed aṡ the baṡiṡ for an open learning approach for full-time campuṡ-
baṡed ṡtudentṡ. We have ṡucceṡṡfully uṡed it in thiṡ way at the Univerṡity of Plymouth

The book iṡ appropriate for moduleṡ that are deṡigned to be covered in 100 to 150 hourṡ
