This book deals comprehensively with the elements of cost accounting, their application to costing methods, and their significance for management through budgetary control, short term decision-making, and capital budgeting. It is an extensive revision of the author s well-known costing text, and provides the student with a complete introduction to cost accounting. Relevant exercises are included at the end of each chapter, with solutions at the end of the book. These include many from recent examinations of the major professional accountancy bodies. Teachers are thus able to use their own favourite examples in lecture or class, and to refer students to other exercises for further practice. Students who are unable to attend a regular course will be able to check their work against the solutions. A series of multiple choice questions throughout the book provides a further opportunity for the student to check personal progress. Other features of the book include: a complete introduction to cost accounting; new material on capital budgeting and cost accounting for service activities; an explanation of budgetary control including behavioural aspects; and graded questions and MCQs throughout (definitions follow CIMA terminology).

Rapidly changing conditions in the internal and external environments that an organisation faces mean that managers require information that is not only timely but which allows them to be flexible too. The accumulation, analysis and use of that information is vital to the decision making process. Advanced Management Accounting follows the twin themes that managers must have relevant information within a framework of strategic management and that managers must consider the dynamic business environment in which they work. Advanced Management Accounting will inspire the reader to ask questions about all aspects of management accounting and will help management accountants to meet the challenge of current information needs. The second edition contains considerable and updated coverage of quantitative and qualitative techniques, specifically performance evaluation and measurement, capital asset acquisition, the behavioural effects of information and activity-based costs and management. Designed in an open and flexible style, Advanced Management Accounting can be customised to cater for any order of coverage through the combination of several chapters. Being an advanced text, some background knowledge is assumed, making it ideal for senior level undergraduates and postgraduate programmes.
