Publisher's Synopsis
"One of our objectives in writing this book is to help students become skilled preparers and informed consumers of financial statement information. The financial reporting environment today is particularly challenging. Accountants, auditors, and financial analysts must not only know the reporting practices that apply in the United States (U.S. GAAP), they must also be aware of the practices allowed in other countries under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We believe it is essential for students to comprehend the key similarities and differences between current U.S. GAAP and IFRS"--.
