Management Accounting Demystified

The latest printing of this book contains many corrections that improves problem solving and readability. This book is worthwhile for students wanting a review of the basics of management/cost accounting and is particularly good as a supplement for MBA students. It is certainly worth the low cost.

Excellent for my MBA Accounting class being a non-accountant

I have just read the different opinions other users have on the book. Some I agree, some I don't. Fortunately that is why there are options and choices can be made.I just finished my MBA Management Accounting class and this book was EXCELENT for my purposes. I hold and Electronic Engineering Degree, an Industrial Engineering Master and actually taking an MBA and let me tell you that this book made it very clear and enjoyable to read for me. I could understand concepts from the very basics to the practical applications. Actually I managed it to get an A on a not easy course on a not easy university. Yes, there are typos, but, in the big picture, I was looking for the understanding of concepts, not the 2+2=4. If I find these errors, best approach is to tell the author so it can get corrected. It takes a lot of initiative to create things and very little to destroy. We want to be part of solutions and new things need friends. That energy to oppose and dismiss things should be applied to destructive or misleading items and actions, otherwise, we should be proactive and expose our honest opinions, always respectful of others. I encourage the author to "keep it simple". Work on the correction of typos as they are reported to you. I just liked very much the simple wording used to pass on the ideas and concepts. This is the kind of books, we the "non-accountants" need to translate in simple terms what the accountants try to say through complex wording. I very much look forward for the next edition and next new things. Just to make it clear, my understanding of the objective of this book is to open the doors for you to go on your own as deep as you want with other books by having with you the very basics clearly defined here. Best Regards.
