First published in 1932, this book has for many years been regarded as a standard work recommended by leading examining bodies throughout the world. However, over the past few years the growing complexity and sophistication of industry and commerce has in- creased the need for information. This important new edition seeks to reflect such developments and also incorporates the changes in interpretation and definition embodied in the revised ICMA publi- cation Management Accountancy - Official Terminology. Every aspect of cost accountancy, including budgetary control, standard costing, relevant costs and the entry system, are dealt with from the basic principles involved through to the application to the specific field in which the cost accountant is employed. Throughout the book there are worked examples of the methods and principles studied, together with self-study tests at the ends of chapters which are designed to reflect the trend of recent professional examinations. Outline solutions are given as an appendix to help students check their own progress.
