Based on the successful Accounting: Financial and organisational decision making Carnegie et al., this new edition is intended for use in introductory subjects at both undergraduate and MBA levels. Through the flexible use of chapters, this text can be adapted to suit both accounting and non-accounting majors. It retains the academic rigour of its predecessor, covering both conceptual and procedural detail to provide a framework for decision-making. At the same time, many new pedagogical features have been introduced, to make the text more accessible. This book focuses on the move towards adoption of international accounting standards in Australia.
