Author Description

Product Description A comprehensive listing of international standards in one easy-to-follow reference For many years the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) has been working to develop a set of accounting standards which can be used to bring about uniformity in financial reporting around the world. Wiley IAS 2000 provides the tools for understanding those standards and offers expertise on how to use and implement them. The book offers a complete listing of all relevant IASC standards, including background information and practical guidance on all the traditional U.S. and U.K. GAAP topics that are not covered by IASC standards. In addition, Wiley IAS 2000 provides up-to-date coverage of IAS formal exposure drafts and Statements of Position (SOPs), a demonstration of the need for increased harmonization and comparability in the global marketplace, and detailed, complex "real-world" examples.
