Authors’ note to tutors bb bb bb




Using the book bb bb




The book is designed to provide readers with a sound introduction to management accounting. It
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and recognises that students using it may come
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



from a wide variety of backgrounds. The book, therefore, tries to avoid technical jargon and
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



does not assume a high level of numerical ability from students. It has been class tested by
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



students on various courses and we have modified and refined the material to take account of
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



their comments. We have also taken account of the comments made by lecturers who used the
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



first nine editions of the book and of specially commissioned reviews.
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




The book aims to encourage an active approach to learning by providing activities and self-
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



assessment questions at appropriate points. This approach is designed to stimulate thought
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



concerning particular issues and to give the readers the opportunity to test their understanding of
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



the principles covered.

The book is supplemented by a password-controlled lecturers’ website and a student website
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



available to all readers.

The structure of the book allows the tutor to deliver the subject in a number of ways. It can be
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



used as recommended reading for a traditional course based on lectures and tutorials. There are
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



critical review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter that can be used as the basis
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



for tutorials. It could also provide the basis for a distance learning approach for part-time or
bb bb b b bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



off-campus students. For these students, the interactive nature of the book may be extremely
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



useful where access to a tutor is restricted. The book can also be used as the basis for an open
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



learning approach for full-time campus-based students. We have successfully used it in this way
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



at the University of Plymouth Business School. Accounting ‘surgeries’ have also been provided
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



to give students the opportunity for one-to-one help with any problems they face.
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




The book is appropriate for modules that are designed to be covered in 100 to 150 hours of
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



study. For full-time students, this will often be covered in one academic year.
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




PowerPoint slides bb




The diagrams in the book, along with other diagrams and materials, are available as PowerPoint
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



slides to help in delivering lectures and tutorials and these can be downloaded from the
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



lecturers’ website.

Practice/assessment material bb




The activities, whose solutions immediately follow them, and self-assessment questions, whose
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



solutions are at the end of the book, form an integral part of it. In addition, there are
