"This book aims at providing a comprehensive account of what entails the process of accounting in corporate governance. It takes an incisive look into what accounting means in this day and age, and how it should be managed within the corporate framework.

Accounting gives a thorough look into the financial aspects of a corporate, and should be deftly handled. The book gives a thorough insight into how this is to be done, and what are the current trends and practices which circumscribe this field. Also under cover are numerous case studies, which discuss in detail accounting scandals in corporate history, and serve to caution the reader against embarking on a similar fate.

Compendious and exhaustive, it is hoped that the book serves well for those in the corporate sector." (jacket)
