Hanging indents

Use Block Quote tags around the chapter summary paragraph because of the hanging indent. This overview is part of the Chapter heading, so precede it with just one blank line.

Small caps in first word

We don't use small-caps for the first words in the body of a Chapter or a Section, as here with "Accounts".
