accounting and finance books for personal statements

Hi guy, i would like to know if you could recommend any books that are worth reading that i can put into my personal statement that increase my chances of making as good a personal statement as i can, as i have an interest in becoming an accountant, but obviously studying the accounting and finance degree first.

Thank you

yes
OK - just namedropping books in your personal statement probably isn't really helpful on it's own... but if you can show how they relate to your interest in the subject they could make it more compelling.

Books about accounting fraud can be pretty interesting and I think a lot of people enjoyed reading 'freakonomics'
