Financial reporting practices differ widely between countries and
this has far-reaching implications for multinational businesses.
Over more than a century, there have been attempts to classify
countries into groups by similarities of practices. With the recent
spread of International Financial Reporting Standards, it might
appear that classification is largely of historical interest, but
this is not the case, for several reasons explained in this book.
Christopher Nobes offers a critical analysis of the many previous
accounting classifications, having drawn lessons from other fields
of science and social science. Revised and updated to reflect the
IFRS era, the book discusses how old classifications are reflected
in today's international differences in practice under IFRS. It
concludes with a discussion on the most useful classifications, and
how classifications can still be relevant in the era of
international standards. This book will be essential for academics,
postgraduates and undergraduates in international accounting,
accounting theory and to international accounting professionals.
