The book starts with an introduction to the standard setting process, as well as looking at the development of IASB. It examines the framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements which underpins the practice of financial accounting.

The questions have been carefully chosen to test the readers ability to write good practical reports, perform calculations, and present both extracts and full sets of financial statements.

Best selling textbook updated for International Accounting Standards

From the Back Cover:

From 2005 all EU listed companies are required to comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. This edition of International Financial Reporting Standards in Depth has been completely updated to reflect this change. This text is designed to prepare both professionally qualified accoutants and those currently studying for their professional examinations to familiarise themselves with these new standards.

Each of the chapters examines all the standards forming the 'stable platform' that were applied from January 2005 for listed companies. It is then supplemented by a number of examination questions chosen from CIMA and ACCA past examination papers.
