Bookkeeping for Company Secretaries (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Bookkeeping for Company Secretaries<br><br>The following work is founded upon a series of lectures delivered by the author before the Institute of Secretaries in the early part of 1897. In the course of that series the author was strictly limited as to the time to be occupied by each lecture, and in consequence it was imperative that many matters of importance should be omitted, and others dealt with only cursorily. It is hoped that these defects have now been removed, and that the present work will be found to reasonably meet the requirements of Company Secretaries, and others seeking information upon the subject of Bookkeeping in relation to joint-stock undertakings.<br><br>In dealing with so extensive a subject as Bookkeeping, however, in the limited space available in a volume of the dimensions of that now in the reader's hands, it becomes necessary either to leave unmentioned many points of considerable importance which would be particularly useful to Company Secretaries, or else to assume a certain amount of preliminary knowledge of Bookkeeping.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
