Whether the problems concern cash point machines, euro invoicing, interest rates or the impact on computer systems, her book will explain how best to face up to the challenge of EMU and will be especially useful to people involved in international trade. Regardless of which countries in Europe are ""in"" or ""out"" of EMU (Economic and Monetary Union), all businesses, large and small, will be affected by its introduction. ""The EMU Fact Book"" contains information about the implications of EMU, now and in the future. It answers over 200 key questions in a clear and easy-to-understand style, questions that anyone in business should be asking, such as: How will it affect the way I do business? What business opportunities will EMU present? What threats to my business do I need to know about? Will I come under pressure to trade and price in euros? It contains detailed and practical guidance on issues such as accounting for the euro; IT issues; banking and taxation; regulatory and legal issues.
