Accounting is becoming increasingly important in every company. It is therefore particularly relevant for students, high school graduates, trainees and practitioners to deal with the technical terminology at an early stage in order to acquire the necessary knowledge. This work is intended to be a compact support.The lexicon contains the most important English technical terms from the field of accounting, which are explained in detail from A to Z in alphabetical order. At the same time, they are contrasted with the German technical terms. This underlines the international orientation of the lexicon. Another special feature of the lexicon is that references are made to legal principles.The lexicon is particularly suitable for studies and for further education in order to be optimally prepared for exams.
