Preface
This book is aimed at introducing non-accounting students to the fundamentals
of financial and management accounting in a clear and practical way. It is par-
ticularly suitable for degree courses, both at undergraduate and masters level,
where students are being introduced to accounting for the first time. It could be
used to support a year-long course or, in part, to accompany one which runs for a
semester.
This book brings accounting to life through the provision of a fully integrated
case study that runs throughout. It follows the experiences of Sam Smart from the
point at which he is considering starting his own business, printing sports kits for
local football teams, through to managing a global sports business, manufactur-
ing and distributing a wide range of equipment and clothing. As his business ex-
pands, Sam faces key business decisions such as how to manage his cash, price his
products, assess new product launches, and evaluate the viability of the business’s
international retail outlets.
As the Smart business grows and develops each chapter explains the issues and vii
problems it is facing. In order to explore and resolve the problems posed, relevant
accounting techniques are introduced. In this way, the techniques are not studied
in isolation but are used immediately to inform the accounting and finance deci-
sions that the business faces. As a result, the use and understanding of various
techniques are immediately applied to a practical scenario. In the early planning
stages, students consider how profit is measured and key financial statements are
explained. As the business grows, management accounting areas are then cov-
ered, including the areas of planning and controlling the business.
By using an integrated case study throughout, students will be able to see the
implications of decisions made across a range of financial and management ac-
counting issues. The demonstration exercises in each chapter focus mainly on the
Smart case, but occasionally introduce other business scenarios, thereby encour-
aging students to make connections between topics that are usually taught as ap-
parently disparate subject areas. This is a far more coherent approach than that
offered by more conventional texts.
This book is written from the perspective of business students, rather than
adapting an accounting textbook. As each topic is covered, the focus is on equip-
ping students to understand the main principles such that they are able to analyse,
interpret, and question the accounting information that they may well encounter
in a business context. As far as possible, unnecessary jargon is avoided and the
Preface

focus is on meeting the needs of business and management students who do not
necessarily plan to become accountants, but who will need a sound appreciation
of accounting and finance in order to communicate and succeed in the business
world.
The third edition incorporates discussion of integrated accounting and carbon
reporting. For the first time, two additional chapters covering double-entry book-
keeping are included in the book. These chapters also give a more integrated
discussion of accounting concepts.
The book has been specifically written with the needs of non-accountants in
mind. Not only is it based on a teaching method employed at Oxford Brookes Uni-
versity for more than ten years, but also business students have been involved in
reviewing the chapters and have found the approach to be very accessible, as the
case study approach brings the subject to life.
Lecturers choosing to adopt this book will find that each chapter lends itself to
providing an interactive teaching session with appropriate demonstration exer-
cises and ponder points throughout. PowerPoint slides are available to accom-
pany each chapter, as well as detailed solutions to all demonstration exercises and
practice questions. Two additional case studies are included, one, based on a real-
viii life business, that tests students’ understanding of financial accounting and one
that tests their understanding of management accounting. These can be used as
assessments or as extended seminar tasks. Taken with the assessment guide for
the module, this text and its supporting materials will provide a complete ‘off-the-
shelf’ package with which to deliver a course.

Wolf swivelled his chair around and stared out of the window onto the
hospital lawn. "We thought that the deep therapy method was
something perfect. Something that would make a patient tell the
absolute truth as he saw it. But our patient is making hash out of it."
He lifted his coffee cup and tasted the black liquid tentatively.
"Follow it through. The first story he gave us was conscious. He said
he couldn't remember exactly what happened to him. Okay. This
could be a fabrication. The next story he gave under therapy
conditions. He said that he killed Glover in a fit of rage because of an
argument. Okay again. We could have accepted that at face value,
and he would have gotten away with it, except that we got curious
about a couple of things. We wondered how the paranoid tinge got
into his thoughts, and we wondered exactly what it was that he and
Glover were on the verge of discovering. So we tried again. Now we
find that he deliberately plotted to kill Glover, and the paranoid
symptoms are now so intense that he gives us a completely phony
story about making millions of dollars out of the discovery, when
everybody knows that you can't patent anything for personal profit
when you invent it in a government laboratory."
Alma Heller lifted her hand, making a one with her forefinger. "So, our
friend Jim Britten is doing two things—both of which we did not
believe him capable of doing. First, he is lying and inventing stories
under deep therapy. Second, he is withholding information. For notice
that he is still avoiding specific mention of the result which his
experiment was aiming at."
Her voice became flat, precise, and probing.
"Now, could our young physicist, Jim Britten, do this thing? No. Not
unless he is an unsuspected superman type. Or—unless he has had
special training and conditioning for resistance against deep therapy.
How does a young physics student obtain such training? And
where?"
She looked across the desk at Morris Wolf, who chewed savagely on
his pipe bit.
"If I had any sense," he growled, "I'd call up the AEC and throw Jim
Britten right back in their faces. If they give me a problem to solve
they should at least tell me how hot they think it is. And my viscera
are beginning to tell me that this is going to be a very, very warm
baby. Maybe I should holler for help. I have a wife and two kids at
home. I don't want to get hurt."
"Who you kidding?" Alma wanted to know. "You wouldn't let a juicy
problem like this escape you just when you have it clutched about the
middle. Besides, our two undercover friends from the FBI will be
keeping their eyes on things. Let them earn their pay."
"Okay." Wolf came to a decision. "We'll give it one more try, and then
we'll call for help. First thing tomorrow morning. In the meantime,
there are two things I want. First I want Britten to have a complete
physical examination. The works. Inside and outside. Blood tests,
electro-encephalograph, tissue specimens, complete x-rays—
everything they can think of. Then I'll spend tonight keeping company
with Britten while the technicians pull down some overtime pay
analyzing the examination results."
"You have an idea?"
He nodded. "At least one idea. But it needs feeding."

That evening Morris Wolf walked down the hospital corridor past the
door of Britten's room. He entered the next door and found himself in
a tiny chamber already occupied by Bill Grady. This was no surprise,
for he knew that Grady and Jones kept Britten under constant
surveillance. He motioned for Grady to keep his seat, and made
himself comfortable in another chair, which he placed so that he could
watch Britten through the one-way window set in the wall. Through
this window he could see every move which Britten made, and
through a loudspeaker he could hear every sound.
It was not clear in Wolf's mind precisely what he expected to find by
watching Britten, but he knew that if he was to unravel his puzzle, he
must know everything about the boy, including the way he walked
and talked and combed his hair.
For a time Britten sat and read, then paced the floor restlessly, as if
waiting for something. Finally he picked his guitar up from the bed
and sat down on his chair, tuning the instrument. When he began to
sing, it was quietly, as though to himself. Wolf had heard him sing
before, generally folk songs from the Southern and Midwestern
states.
Now there intruded into Wolf's mind a thought which had previously
been on the edge of consciousness, and simultaneously his hand
reached out to touch the start button on his tape recorder. The
manner in which a person sings should reveal a great deal about his
early life—about the kind of language he grew up with, down to the
very vocal structure which has developed in his body since childhood.
As a result there are many types of voices: French voices, Tennessee
voices, Italian voices, Texas voices, each with its own flavor caused
by the way in which the vocal muscles have been trained by the
native language, and also by the way in which people are
accustomed to singing in those places.
When Wolf went home that night he carried a tape of Britten's song
with him. It was convenient that he did not have to go far for an expert
opinion to corroborate what he had already decided as an amateur.
He entered his house, the pleasant place with the warm colors, the
rows of books, the grand piano, and of course his wife.
"Sorry I had to stay late, dear, but there's something important going
on. Something really important. And you can be a big help to me right
now."
"Me?" asked Lynne. "You're going back to musical therapy?"
"Not exactly," he said, dryly. "More like musical detection. I'm going to
play a tape recording of a song or two, and I want your professional
opinion as to what part of the world the singer came from."
He walked over to the recorder and began threading the tape. "Now
pay no attention to the song itself," he instructed. "I'm interested only
in the voice quality."
The tape spool unrolled slowly, and Britten's voice filled the room.
"Not bad for an amateur," Lynne commented, listening closely. For
several minutes she remained silent, until finally the tape was
completed.
"Well," she said, finally, "I don't think it's an American. A bit too rich. It
doesn't have the French quality, nor the Italian. More chesty, kind of
ripe and fruity. Central European. Hungarian, Russian, or something
of that order."
Wolf kissed her solemnly. "You win first prize, girl. That's the answer I
wanted, and that's the answer that fits."

CHAPTER III
In the morning, the act of going to the hospital produced within him a
sensation as of marching to the front line of battle.
Whitehead, the laboratory chief, was prowling about his office when
he arrived.
"Morning," Wolf greeted him. "Got something for me?"
"I have a strangeness," Whitehead said. "A very great strangeness."
"We all do," Wolf replied. "What's yours?"
"This Britten of yours. How old is he?"
"By appearance, and according to the records, about twenty-one."
"Uh-huh. And by cellular structure and metabolism he is at least
forty!"
"So."
Wolf sank down in his chair and cocked an eye at Alma Heller, who
came into the room at that moment.
"Did you hear that, Alma? In more ways than one our boy isn't what
he seems to be. By last night I was certain that he is not a native of
Louisville, Kentucky. Now we are told that he is twice as old as we
thought he was."
Alma stared for a moment.
"We do seem to get in deeper and deeper. Have any ideas?"
Wolf ran his hand worriedly through his hair. "One. But I'm afraid of it.
At any rate, we're in too far to back out. This morning we're going to
dig for more information, and we're not going to stop until we have
Britten squeezed dry."
He reached onto his desk for his tobacco can and began filling a pipe,
meanwhile organizing his thoughts.
"Somehow or other," he resumed, "Britten has received conditioning
to resist giving information under deep therapy."
"And not only that," Alma interposed, "but he has the ability to retain
consciousness under deep therapy and fabricate a story to replace
the true facts."
"Correct. So, since the ordinary deep therapy method is useless, we
have to get tough. We have to eliminate his present set of
conditioned reactions and replace them by a new set. In other words,
we must reset the controls so that he responds to a new set of
orders."
Alma pursed her lips for a soundless whistle. "Fisher's method! Do
you know how much of that a nervous system can take?"
Wolf shrugged. "Who knows? This is very new stuff. I've played
around with a little of it, but ... who knows? At any rate, we're going to
assume that Britten has a fairly tough mind in order to get as far as
he has. We'll assume this not only for his own sake, but for ours,
because we are going to shake him loose from his present set of
memories, and we want enough of his original memories left for us to
assemble. Now suppose we begin."
Whitehead excused himself. There was work waiting in his laboratory,
he said, and watched wistfully as the two disappeared into the
therapy room.
Alma began switching on the apparatus, while Wolf called for Jim
Britten to be brought in.
"Still going digging in my mind?" Britten wisecracked as he walked in,
flanked by the ubiquitous Grady and Jones.
"With a steam shovel," Wolf replied, and motioned that Britten be
strapped onto the table.
This time Wolf wasted no explanations. Without pausing he slipped
Britten a preliminary shot and began fitting electrodes onto his head
and arms.
"We're going back a long time, now," he said, quietly. "Remember
back to the days before you started college. How old are you?"
Britten began dreaming off. "Sixteen years old. It was a hot summer.
Kentucky in summer. Hot. Hot as a solar cycle ... hot as a bicycle
down the road ... a tricycle down the toad ... doctor you look like a big
pimply warty green-eyed toad...."
Morris Wolf waited until the drug-induced schizophrenic symptoms
were well under way, then motioned for Alma Heller to send a
sequence of high-frequency pulses through Britten's nervous system,
breaking down synapses and destroying memory patterns. This, in
combination with the drug, was intended to clear the mind of
memories involving the period of time to which Britten's attention had
been directed. In this period, Wolf guessed, the conditioning had
taken place. If not, then he must try another period.
Britten's body stiffened under the onslaught and perspiration rolled
out on his brow. His mouth twisted and his eyebrows writhed. Morris
Wolf himself felt perspiration starting out on his face, while in the back
of the room the two "attendants" stared in amazement.
After enough time of this, Wolf switched the controls so that a
rhythmic pattern of pulses went through Britten's system in such a
manner as to aid the triggering of synapses and the formation of
memory patterns. The slate having been wiped clean, new writing
had to be placed on it.
"Now," he said, tensely, leaning over the patient and speaking close
to his ears. "Cooperation means obey. Cooperation means obey.
Cooperation means you do what I say. Cooperation means you do
what I tell you to do, say what I tell you to say, remember what I tell
you to remember. Cooperation is the key word."
The words went from Wolf's mouth to Britten's ears in the form of
sound waves, were converted into neuro-electrical impulses, and
under the influence of the rhythmically repeating pulses, from the
machine, circulated around and around through Britten's system,
tracing a deeply etched path.
Finally Wolf ceased the talking, and Alma handed him the needle with
the antidote to the first drug.
"Now we see how successful we are," he said.
He gave the shot and several minutes went by while they waited for it
to take effect. They remained silent, as though to say a word would
break the spell.
Then: "Cooperation," Wolf said.
Britten lay still.
"Open your eyes."
Britten's eyelids struggled open, but the eyes stared blankly.
Wolf thought: what question is most basic?
Then he asked: "What is your name?"
The mouth writhed, and then whispered, "Pyotr Fermineyev."

There was a small roaring in Morris Wolf's ears, and beside him he
heard the intake of Alma Heller's breath. The FBI agents, Grady and
Jones, had moved up until they were leaning over Wolf's shoulder.
Then: "Where were you born?"
Again the whisper from the blank face: "In Leningrad."
Then: "Who sent you to America?"
"The Society for the Restoration of the Revolution."
"What is the nature of this organization?"
"It is an underground group pledged to return the Soviet Union to its
status as the leader of the world revolution and to overthrow the
present appeasers of the capitalist governments."
Wolf glowed with triumph. "Get that, Alma?" he gloated, and he
turned around half way and winked at the two men behind him.
Alma Heller shook a strand of hair back from her eyes. "The fanatical
revolutionaries—now they're trying to overthrow their own
government because the Soviet is too friendly to the Western
governments!"
"This is no comic underground group," Wolf said. "There are some
big people in it who know how to do things that we're just barely
starting to learn about."
He paused, and considered his next questions. The time had come to
dig in.
He phrased his query: "What was your task on the satellite?"
Britten's face writhed. Perspiration rolled down his cheeks in a steady
stream. Obviously some of the original conditioning remained,
causing interference with Wolf's orders.
Alma Heller's knuckles showed white and her clenched hands
trembled. The FBI agents inched forward, their bodies stiff with
impatience.
Between hard breaths the words came: "... was on the satellite to
watch ... new developments in nuclear power ... complete conversion
... matter to energy...."
Understanding grew in Wolf's mind with a brilliant glare. Glover had
been on the verge of taming the ultimate source of energy—the total
and complete conversion of matter—a source of power over 130
times more potent than the hydrogen-helium reaction. No wonder the
project had been put under wraps!
"So you killed Glover to prevent him from continuing his work. What
did you intend to gain by that? Somebody else will take it over. How
are you going to develop this power source yourself?"
Britten groaned audibly. His back arched and his arms strained
against the table straps.
Through clenched teeth: "Ruppert ... next man in line for Glover's job
... one of us."
Wolf's eyes opened wide, and he whirled to the telephone.
"I'm calling Washington—" he began, then stopped in horror.
Behind him, Britten's voice said, in a strangely firm tone: "Now is the
time."

Wolf whirled again. He saw Britten, still strapped to the table, his eyes
unglazed, and his facial expression commanding.
The FBI men had stiffened, and were standing in place, motionless.
"Cover them, and untie me," Britten rapped out, in a voice that was
greatly different from the youthful, uncertain tone he had previously
used.
Grady pulled his gun, backed Wolf and Alma Heller against the wall,
while Jones loosened Britten's straps.
"So you're one of them, too, Grady," Wolf growled. "And you, Jones.
May you burn in hell."
"Don't malign them," said Britten, sitting up and rubbing his arms.
"They are good, loyal G-men. But they sat outside my door too long,
and now they do what I tell them to do."
Wolf narrowed his eyes and stared at Britten. "Just what are you?" he
demanded.
Britten met his gaze, bleakly, and ignored the question.
"We have a rendezvous to make. The two of you will escort me to a
helicopter that Grady will order. I need not repeat that we are
prepared to blast our way out of this place. You'll save lives all around
by being as inconspicuous as possible."
He indicated that Wolf and Alma Heller would go ahead, while the two
agents took up the rear. Out in the main corridor they merged into the
confused traffic of the busy hospital, two doctors and two attendants
conducting a patient out.
Grady took the controls of the helicopter that waited for them out on
the parking lot. As they climbed to a high traffic lane, Jones took care
of tying the hands of the two doctors behind their seats.
Britten sat beside the pilot, staring through the windshield. "Head due
west one hundred miles," he said. "Then I'll give you further
directions."
Wolf looked down through the port next to him and felt his heart
constrict as he saw the houses below grow smaller and smaller. One
of those houses was his; there was a small figure beside it that could
have been his little boy. That was the thought that set his heart
beating violently and the adrenalin pumping swiftly through his veins.
For himself he didn't care so much, but his son needed a father to
come home.
He looked at Alma sitting beside him, her face pale and frightened.
He wondered how much time there was before the rendezvous. For
this was all the time he had. Beyond that were too many unknown
factors to consider.
He leaned over sideways.
"Alma," he said, in a voice not loud enough to carry forward over the
roar of the motor. "Tell me exactly what happened when Britten said,
'Now is the time.' My back was turned then. Just what did he look
like?"
Alma swallowed. She composed her face and turned her thoughts
inward, remembering.
"There was a sudden change," she said. "One moment he was in the
trance state, the next moment he was fully aware of his surroundings
and in charge of the situation. As though he received a signal at that
instant."
A signal, Wolf thought. From where? The implication was shocking.
Look at what we have, he continued to himself. Britten comes to me,
under conditioning, ready to act out his part to the hilt. We question
him under deep hypnotherapy and he comes forth with a plausible
story. We might have stopped right there, but we got curious and
began to ask more questions. He brings out another story. Why?
Obviously, red herrings to confuse the issue. To stall for time. We
apply more pressure, blank out his original conditioning so that he
gives us straight answers to questions, and we are getting along fine.
Then, suddenly he snaps out of it and into his original, pre-Britten
character, all forty years of him. Therefore there must have been
another, deeper level to the control over his mind which we did not
even touch. A level activated by a new signal which we did not even
detect, a signal which came at a crucial time.
"Now is the time" meant that the stalling was over, that the
preparations for Britten's escape were completed.
There were still questions to be answered, many blank spaces to be
filled in, but at the present instant there was only one question that
mattered. The treatment which Wolf had given Britten—had it been at
all effective?
Was it still effective?
There was one way to find out.

Morris Wolf leaned forward and called in a loud voice: "Pyotr


Fermineyev!"
The man's head snapped around.
"Cooperation is the key word!" Wolf shouted.
Confusion passed over Britten's face as conflict once more knotted
his nervous system.
Wolf threw his second punch immediately. "Tell Jones to cut me
loose," he demanded.
"Cut him loose," Britten echoed, in bewilderment.
After an interminable interval, Jones laid down his gun, found his
knife, opened it, and slashed the cords from Wolf's arms. Wolf's
muscles were already tensed. He snatched Jones' gun, lurched
forward, and even as Britten's mouth opened to countermand his
order, he slugged Britten with the butt of the pistol, hitting him
viciously and hard until he lay unconscious on the floor.
Then he said to Grady, "You'd better get us back to the hospital,"
keeping the gun in his hand.
But Grady and Jones made no trouble. With Britten out of the picture
they obeyed the one obviously in command. Poor boys, Wolf thought.
Now they were in need of therapy.
As the hospital hove into view, he said to Alma Heller, "We have just
seen the real beginning of psychological warfare. Where it took us a
whole roomful of equipment to condition Britten's responses to a
trigger word, he was able to do it to Jones and Brady single-handed.
His method is something we'd like to know. But more than that,
Britten himself was conditioned to respond to a signal unknown to us
and undetected by us. My God, it could only have been telepathic!"
Alma Heller's eyes closed for a moment.
"I think," she said, "that psychiatrists are going to reach the same
position that physicists did during World War II."
Morris Wolf looked dourly out of the window, watching the hospital
balloon up under the helicopter.
"That's the most unpleasant thing anybody has said all day," he
replied.
