Summary: Comprehensive but somewhat technical (not very suitable for most beginners)

Comment: I want to agree with the previous, rather brief reviewer who found this book to be somewhat complicated.

While it certainly IS very comprehensive (as in it covers all you want to know, plus more), the manner in which the material is presented at times comes accross overly technical and complicated - especially for the novice. Furthermore, the layout, while visually appealing, doesn't seem thought through properly. Much too often, the text discusses key concepts by refering to example-boxes which, for some reason, are inconveniently printed pages away from the complementing text. This often disrupts the learning flow and thus may hinder (easy) comprehension of even the most basic concepts such as standard overhead absorption costing, budgeting, marignal costing, etc.
However, not all is amiss! One aspect of the book which deserves utmost praise is the extensive supply of exercise questions (and suggested solutions) to each chapter. These are extremely helpful in gaining a "feel" for the usefulness and necessity of management accounting in business. That alone may justify the purchase of the book. (hence three stars in the rating)

All in all I would say that this book isn't best-suited for the novice as stand-alone learning source, but may be a very useful supplement for those who want to apply what they have learned (possibly elsewhere) and those who want to gain a deeper, more technical understanding of already understood management accounting concepts.

Summary: Bloody good book

Comment: I thought that last years edition was good, but having picked up the latest of Drury; I can say I was blown away!

I especially like the little pictures of a roulette wheel; it adds a bit of danger and exicitment to the already thrilling world of management accounting.

BUY THIS BOOK YESTERDAY IF NOT BEFORE

Summary: The definitive management accounting textbook

Comment: This book has it all from process costing to ABC it is simply the bible for management accountants this book changed my life. Sad, I know but you have to admire the author he makes it so clear and readable it really is a delight. I first read similar books by the same author years ago but this is the best, it covers everything you need to know therefore ideal for university degree courses MBA ect. The questions and answers are excellently researched and the use of colour in the text makes a boring subject interesting. It converted me I hope it will do the same for you.

Summary: The most comprehensive survey of management accounting.

Comment: This book covers the whole field so it's not ideal if you need a quick introduction to the subject. But for anyone studying management accounting it provides an excellent resource for learning and testing your skills.
The student's manual is highly recommended too.
