Authors’ note to tutors b b b




Using the book b b




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


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


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


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


various courses and we have modified and refined the material to take account of their comments.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


We have also taken account of the comments made by lecturers who used the first nine editions of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


the book and of specially commissioned reviews.
b b b b b b b




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


questions at appropriate points. This approach is designed to stimulate thought concerning
b b b b b b b b b b b b


particular issues and to give the readers the opportunity to test their understanding of the principles
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


covered.

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


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
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


as recommended reading for a traditional course based on lectures and tutorials. There are critical
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter that can be used as the basis for tutorials.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bIt could also provide the basis for a distance learning approach for part-time or off-campus
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


students. For these students, the interactive nature of the book may be extremely useful where
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


access to a tutor is restricted. The book can also be used as the basis for an open learning approach
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


for full-time campus-based students. We have successfully used it in this way at the University of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


Plymouth Business School. Accounting ‘surgeries’ have also been provided to give students the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


opportunity for one-to-one help with any problems they face.
b b b b b b b b b




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


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

PowerPoint slides b




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


slides to help in delivering lectures and tutorials and these can be downloaded from the lecturers’
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


website.

Practice/assessment material b




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


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