Business has become more international and more complex. Whether
you are a manager, a student, or someone generally interested in
corporate financial information, you want information and you want
to understand that information. Companies in all countries are
required to generate financial information, if for no other reason
than to settle their tax obligations. If you are interested in the
larger companies, such as those listed on a stock exchange, they
must make financial information public, and the nature and type of
that information is strictly regulated. Companies must comply with
accounting standards. Many countries use the International
Accounting Standards issued by the IFRS Foundation. This is a
not-for-profit international organization that has developed a
single set of high-quality global accounting standards. These
standards can be complex, but this book explains clearly the main
requirements.
The Exam Practice Kit is an essential revision tool. It allows
students to test knowledge by putting theory into practice and
refine exam technique.
