Quatri�me de couverture :

A company is worth only as much as its accounting information.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued an exposure draft providing guidance on how to measure fair value. Some observers anticipate future pronouncements requiring more extensive use of fair value in accounting disclosures. In the absence of market prices, determining fair values requires the application of various valuation concepts.

Financial Accounting: A Valuation Emphasis integrates an understanding of valuation concepts with accounting principles.

You ll develop a solid background in basic accounting processes and disclosures, and the critical role of accounting in valuation.
