Understanding British Accounting

This book is on how to understand financial accounting sheets. It is British, so some of the terms being used are a bit unusual to Americans. As a for instance, all of the numbers are in pounds, not dollars. It is intended for the business manager without an accounting background. It could also be used as the basis for a business studies course. This is the eighth edition of this book and the updated changes take into account changes in the (British) accounting rules. If it is part of your job or interest to evaluate British companies for investment or other purposes, this book would be an ideal way to start learning the differrences in accounting practices.

The Meaning of Company Accounts Reid & Myddelton

I am using this book as reading material for an MBA. I felt it could explore the deaper meaning of ratio analysis and its relevance within more industries. The size looks unitidy in my bookcase. But the soft cover certainly brought the price down and it hs proved invaluable as I have very little in the way of accounting knowledge.
