The first edition of this innovative text was enthusiastically welcomed by students and critically acclaimed by the academic community. Together with its sister volume, Managerial Accounting: method and meaning, it provides an integrated introduction to the domain of accounting which should be read by every serious student. For this updated and completely revised edition the material has been broken down to shorter chapters to make it even more accessible. "This is a useful addition to the range of introductory texts, with a clear, well thought-out presentation of the mechanics of the financial accounting process and more critical material than is found in most such texts." - Accounting and Business Research PUT THIS ABOVE 'MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING' BY CHUA ET AL AND 'FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT' BY PUXTY

The derivatives industry has been revolutionized by sophisticated instruments known as exotic options. The market for these derivatives, which are developed by banks to suit the individual requirements of corporations, continues to expand both in volume and complexity. Their misuse has also given rise to controversy and criticism within financial circles. This is a practical and up-to-date guide to the valuation and hedging of standard exotic options. It explores each type of option in detail and should be useful for all those who need clearer practical understanding of this area of high finance.

International Money and Banking

As international trade and competition grow apace, the dynamics of banking and finance are constantly changing. Regulations are introduced, new markets opened up and financial services developed, all of which have important implications for global business. This is the first major text to offer an up-to-date survey of both international money and banking. The author describes systematically the workings of international finance, analyzing its important features and incorporating recent significant developments. He deals comprehensively with the institutions and regulations, covering the basics of such areas as exchange rates, financial markets and services, innovations, and including banking activities like portfolio management, debt servicing and loan syndication. While the scope is international, the book also contains brief summaries of topics relevant for closed economies. The book is designed to provide the reader with a complete survey of international money and banking in theory and practice and it includes questions and exercises to encourage debate and aid revision.
