The Encyclopedia of Accounting Systems, Revised and Enlarged, is an invaluable working tool for public, industrial, and institutional accountants in need of information about industries with which they are unfamiliar, or ideas relating to systems refinements within industries which they may already have been serving. In three volumes, the Encyclopedia describes and illustrates accounting systems for the broadest possible spectrum of industries, businesses, professions, and non-profit organizations. Each system has been prepared by a specialist in his field. Since its publication in 1958, the Encyclopedia of Accounting Systems has been an indispensable reference work for accountants. The Revised Edition, which has been expanded to cover even more businesses and industries than did the original edition, takes into account new developments in the accounting field, such as the increased and more sophisticated use of data processing and computer systems, and offers the most up-to-date charts, figures, and reports.
