If you read the 'business pages' of a newspaper or if you listen to
the financial news on the television or radio, you will often hear
terms such as 'liability', 'balance sheet' or 'earnings'. These
terms turn up in non-financial contexts as well: 'he was more of a
liability than an asset'. If you invest in shares, have a building
society account, or sit on a committee of the property company
which owns your apartment block, you will receive financial
statements every year. If you are a manager in a company, a
hospital or a school, you will see accounting information often.
This Very Short Introduction provides a guide to understanding and
using accounting information. Christopher Nobes explains the main
areas of accounting work, from bookkeeping and financial reporting
to auditing and management accounting. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very
Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains
hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized
books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas,

readable.
