A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Looking for an introductory text in financial accounting? Then look no further than this book, created by an experienced author team specifically for those with little or no previous knowledge of the subject. With a clear written style this accessible book is unique in teaching financial accounting from a non-country specific perspective, using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as its framework to explain concepts and standards. Building on the success of the first edition this truly international book continues to draw examples from Europe, the US and beyond, and has been updated to incorporate the extensive changes of the past three years.
