Abstract
The book under review is of a different variety, since it is written in a highly mathematical style. The author, a senior researcher at the Ahmedabad Textile Industry’s Research Association (ATIRA), believes that “the influence of mathematics seems to have been conspicuous by its absence” [in other books]. He has, therefore, taken it upon himself to provide, to use his words, a “rigorous analysis of the concepts of management accounting.” One cannot quarrel with the author’s mission, although the implication that rigorous analysis has never been attempted in the past is unjustified.
