Abstract
This book is an invitation to study how accounting information is used in the management of an organization. It is a book that deals with accounting; yet the central feature is using the accounting, as opposed to doing the accounting. Stated differently, our study of accounting adopts a managerial perspective. It stresses use of the various accounting products, not their production. Emphasis is placed on use by a well-prepared and responsible manager.
