"The book is written in both clear and rigorous way, grabbing the reader through the issue curiosity, pleasantness of reading, and training and information it proportionate. ... A state-of-art book, written with pedagogical and scientific concerns, on the compatibility of both major information systems: financial accounting and management control, use in organizations management.
