Summary

Formerly titleInternational Accounting Standards: A Practical Guide, this third edition summarizes each International Financial Report Standard in order to provide a broad and basic understanding of the key issues for each standard. In addition to these short summaries, each chapter contains a case study that stresses the practical application of key concepts in a particular standard. This provides the non-technical reader with the tools to participate in discussions on the appropriateness and application of a standard to a given situation. All of the accounting standards, issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) are included in this book, as well as interpretations disseminated by the Standards Interpretations Committee (SIC) through 31 December 2003.
