Fantastic review of cost accounting. It doesn't get deep into the weeds, but it doesn't need to. It gives you a high-level review and points you in the right direction so you know what areas to explore further.

Good introduction to cist accounting & budgeting

This book is a great help for non accountants to start to learn the concepts and the jargon involved in cost accounting and budgeting. It won't make you an expert but it will enable you to talk with the experts and understand what they're saying and doing.
