Abstract

Written in a friendly style with clear explanations, Financial Accounting Theory provides a thorough presentation of financial accounting theories.
This edition continues to include considerable coverage of accounting standards oriented to IASB standards as well as major U.S. accounting standards. While the text discussion concentrates on relating standards to the theoretical framework of the book, the coverage provides students with exposure to the contents of the standards themselves.
