Synopsis
This book presents an in-depth analysis of various approaches to defining and measuring business or economic income. It provides a concise review of the historical debates, contrasting the asset/liability and revenue/expense approaches to net income measurement. The author asserts that there are in fact three distinct approaches, not two. The book establishes a clear distinction between Hicksian and Fisherian definitions of income and argues that Fisher's ideas formed the theoretical foundation for accrual accounting, the method used in modern corporations for calculating income. The author further suggests that the FASB's preference for the asset/liability approach lacks a sound theoretical basis and proposes the revenue/expense approach as a more coherent framework for understanding business income. This book is essential reading for accounting professionals, economists, and anyone interested in the conceptual underpinnings of financial reporting.
