Standardization and harmonization of accounting practices is a
fundamental element of a global business environment. Achieving
this is a complex process that involves technical and political
negotiation. The International Accounting Standards Committee
(IASC) was the organization that pioneered this process on a
world-wide basis.
The IASC prepared the way for the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and its International Financial Reporting
Standards, which since 2005 have held the dominant influence over
the financial reporting of thousands of listed companies in the
European Union, as well as in many other countries.
The forces and influences that shaped the formation of the IASB
were intimately connected with the historical organization and
operation of its predecessor, the IASC, and so to understand the
standards enforced in financial reporting today, a historical
understanding of the IASC is required. Financial Reporting and
Global Capital Markets does just this. It examines the history of
the IASC from 1973 to 2000, including its foundation, operation,
changing membership and leadership, achievements and setbacks, the
development of its standards, and its restructuring leading up to
the creation of the IASB in 2001.
The book also studies the impact of the IASC's standards on
national standard setting and on accounting practice in developed
and developing countries, as well as the impact on the IASC of the
policies and positions of the UN, the OECD, the US Securities and
Exchange Commission, the International Organization of Securities
Commissions, and the European Commission. It will be of vital
interest to all concerned with accounting developments in aglobal
environment, be they academics, policy-makers, or professionals.
