The Weird and Wonderful World of Accountancy

By Marvin Close

"Accountants boring? You must be joking." From Ancient Rome to the French Revolution and Prohibition-era America, via Laser Monks, Al Capone and the invention of bubble gum, The Weird and Wonderful World of Accountancy is an eccentric and informative look at all things financial. Find out the origins of The Great Stork Derby; learn which celebrities can also do double entry book-keeping, and discover why you might find the IRS hanging out at rock gigs. With enough facts, quotes and jokes to intrigue accountants and non-accountants alike, you'll never look at balance sheets and auditing in quite the same way again.
