I've been looking for resource materials about cost accounting. Thanks for sharing an interesting book! I'll be reading it for my research. My research is about the use of AccPac software as an aid for cost accounting and business management. It's a good thing that there's an applications disk that comes along with the book. I might be able to use that as part of the research as well.

Another aspect I have to look into is inventory handling and management. Maybe the books you've shared have a part that discusses this. Thanks again for sharing! This might be the best help I can get for my research.
