Overview of the Book

Abstract

The book has been written to meet the requirements of all GCSE examining bodies currently offering accountancy. In addition, it meets the requirements of the RSA Stage 2 examination and provides an introductory text for those wish to proceed ultimately to professional and similar examinations. The book may therefore include certain topics not required by the syllabus for a particular body, and teachers and lecturers are therefore advised to check the Contents List against the syllabus of their particular body in order to identify such topics, and then to decide whether to include them in the normal way (in order to give a complete picture of the accounting process), to exclude them, or to deal with them but briefly.
