Cost Management: Measuring, Monitoring, and Motivating Performance, 2nd Edition

DEDICATION

We dedicate this book to the cost accounting professors and students who have accompanied us on our textbook development journey. Their comments and insights have helped us create a textbook that is user friendly, holds to a high standard regarding technical content, and encourages students to think critically about how cost accounting information is created and used by businesses.
