Reader Reviews
I bought this book to help supplement a college text for a management accounting class I took recently. While the book itself isn't going to teach you everything about management accounting that you'll need/want to know, it is a decent supplement to more professional texts. It did help to clarify a few concepts, and simplify some things, but it is not in-depth enough to teach all of the relevant material you would learn by taking a management accounting college course.
