I take great pleasure in presenting this thoroughly revised and updated fourth edition of Cost and Management Accounting. The learned professors and students have always praised the excellent presentation of the subject matter in a simple and lucid style and the utility of the solved and unsolved problems in the book from examination point of view. I thank them for their compliments and also for their support and suggestions. I assure them that while revising the book, I always have students in mind and fully utilize the opportunity to improve the subject matter.
