Management is omnipresent in management. Irrespective of the level in the management hierarchy, every manager must develop the skills to apply management accounting techniques in decision-making. Therefore, management accounting (also called managerial accounting) is a core subject in every management programme universities and B-schools offer. I always thought of writing a book on the subject that can be used both as a textbook and a self-study book to facilitate learning. Publication of the book is like a dream come true. Undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a Management or Commerce programme will find the book useful and interesting. The initial feedback is positive. Users have liked the style, language, and examples. I look forward to suggestions for improvement.
