Company Law for Accountants is written in a much-admired, straightforward style which has contributed immensely to the accessibility of the subject and the popularity of the book. This edition brings the text right up to date along with the most recent developments in case law, as well as incorporating the changes in the Companies Act 1985 which were introduced by the revisionary Companies Act 1989.
