Synopsis
The 4th edition of this comprehensive international accounting text has been updated and restructured to reflect developments since 1991, both in the regulation and the teaching of the subject internationally. The text is authored by international authorities with local/regional expertise, and includes individual country studies from four continents and includes new chapters on "Asian Tiger" countries and international auditing. As such, it will remain, for readers globally, an authoritative, popular and accessible examination of the context and issues of comparative international accounting, as well as on the financial reporting in individual countries. This work is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Comparative and International Accounting.
