Hospitality Accounting covers all the key areas of financial accounting, but is specifically written for non-accounting students. It focuses on the key areas of accounting required to run a hotel, in a simple and straightforward manner. This text includes plenty of cases, mini-cases and questions which help to emphasise the application of theory to practical business issues.

Since the publication of the second edition in 1986, there have been important advances in the field of management accounting. A great deal of progress has been made by hospitality and tourism operators in the area of control techniques, with revenue control in particular receiving a considerable amount of attention. The aim of this new edition is to present all such material and ensure that the book is the most up-to-date. Though retaining the basic structure of the original work, the third edition has been thoroughly revised, up-dated and expanded to cover all the key aspects of tourism.
