Authors’ note to tutors
Using the book
The book is designed to provide readers with a sound introduction to management accounting. It
assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and recognises that students using it may come from
NW us
a wide variety of backgrounds. The book, therefore, tries to avoid technical jargon and does not
assume a high level of numerical ability from students. It has been class tested by students on
various courses and we have modified and refined the material to take account of their comments.
U
We have also taken account of the comments made by lecturers who used the first nine editions of
the book and of specially commissioned reviews.
The book aims to encourage an active approach to learning by providing activities and self-assessment
Tr
Rhi ted
questions at appropriate points. This approach is designed to stimulate thought concerning particular
issues and to give the readers the opportunity to test their understanding of the principles covered.
The book is supplemented by a password-controlled lecturers’ website and a student website
SzzE s
available to all readers.
The structure of the book allows the tutor to deliver the subject in a number of ways. It can be used
as recommended reading for a traditional course based on lectures and tutorials. There are critical
review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter that can be used as the basis for tutorials.
nDu ch
It could also provide the basis for a distance learning approach for part-time or off-campus students.
For these students, the interactive nature of the book may be extremely useful where access to a
tutor is restricted. The book can also be used as the basis for an open learning approach for full-time
campus-based students. We have successfully used it in this way at the University of Plymouth
Business School. Accounting ‘surgeries’ have also been provided to give students the opportunity
Ors o
for one-to-one help with any problems they face.
The book is appropriate for modules that are designed to be covered in 100 to 150 hours of study.
For full-time students, this will often be covered in one academic year.

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