Einziger Kritikpunkt: Laut Dozent ist das Werk sehr englisch/amerikanisch geprägt, sodass der ein oder andere Punkt objektiv betrachtet zu positiv weg kommt.Peter Atrill is a freelance academic and author working with leading institutions in the UK, Europe and SE Asia. With a focus on decision-making, Accounting and Finance for Non-Specialists also teaches you how to apply your learning to real-world business scenarios. He was previously Head of Accounting and law and Head of Business and Management at the Plymouth University Business School.

Although the theory and application is great, I can't help but find myself slightly peeved at the emphasis on social responsibility and normative values - which frankly has no place in a book about a (reasonably) objective science. The 9th edition retains the popular real world examples, progress checks, activities and exercises, and updates the coverage using an informal and engaging narrative.

You will also gain an appreciation of the key roles that accounting and finance play in business decision-making.
