In the present complex business world, management accounting has become an integral part and useful tool of a management system. In fact, management accounting represents a happy blending of two older professions of ‘Management’ and ‘Accounting’, which leads to the success of a business concern through accounting control and managerial efficiency. The present text has been planned and designed to cope with the needs of B.Com. students and to present the subject in simple language and lucid style.
