For over thirty years, Colin Drury has been at the forefront of helping students learn the key concepts and processes in management and cost accounting through his textbooks. Now in its tenth edition, Management and Cost Accounting has been the leading textbook in the field for three decades, and continues to blend theory and practice in language that is clear and accessible. As well as covering everything students need to know for management accounting and cost accounting modules on undergraduate courses, or postgraduate students studying these topics for the first time, this book will also help prepare those taking the professional accounting bodies' management and cost accounting examinations. The new edition has been completely updated to reflect recent developments in the field, and now includes additional emphasis on value creation, and links strategic performance management more closely to divisional financial performance measurement. An entirely new chapter has also been added looking at the challenges management accountants will face in the future.

Biografisk notat

The late Colin Drury was at Huddersfield University from 1970 until his retirement in 2004, when he was awarded the title of Emeritus Professor. For the last 35 years, Professor Colin Drury had been at the forefront of helping students learn the key concepts and processes in management and cost accounting through his bestselling textbooks, which have been widely recommended by the main professional accounting bodies for their examinations. He was an active researcher throughout his career and his research had been published in around 100 professional and academic journals. In recognition for his contribution to accounting education and research, Drury was given a lifetime achievement award by the British Accounting Association in 2009. Drury's Flagship title Management and Cost Accounting was first published in 1985 and is now in its 11th edition. It established itself as one of the leading management accounting textbooks in EMEA. It is known, not just for its rigour and authority, but particularly for Drury's down-to-earth style that reflected his background as a practising accountant before his involvement in academia.
