Synopsis

Book by Roberts Clare Weetman Pauline Gordon Paul

Revue de presse

 "An important contribution to the field of international financial accounting. Well structured, clearly presented and authoritative making it a valuable resource for students and practitioners alike. The rigorous and insightful comparative approach used is an outstanding feature and puts it ahead of the competition."  Professor Sidney Gray, University of New South Wales

This is the second year I have used the book in my MBA class "Information and Global Capital Markets", and this year I am also using it in my undergraduate "International Corporate Accounting and Disclosure". The MBA students rated the book very highly last year, as being interesting and helpful. My class is structured to take an in-depth look at the home bias in investing and quality of earnings issues across world-class firms from different countries, and I use the book to provide students with three things: (1) and overview of accounting measurement and disclosure issues globally, and an introduction to the issues we will be studying; (2) specific information on the financing and reporting infrastructure across countries (and as a remedial tool to homogenize students' familiarity with the basic economic climate in various specific countries); and (3) a capstone module that brings together issues of global firms' investor relations function. The individual country chapters also help the students begin their study of the economic background of a specific country for the final projects. The book is written clearly and compellingly, without being dry or unnecessarily laden with extraneous details.
