Not a bad book for an introduction into accounting for someone who has taken accounting for her Leaving Cert and did well enough, but then never touched it again.

Some of the examples are a bit confusing to get through and take time, but the book is well laid out and I recommend for anyone starting any business/ accounting course to get this book. As it has some great referencing to show and it explains it well.
