As a translator who works with Japanese, Chinese, and French financial reports, it is difficult to find up to date books that cover all of the financial systems that I deal with, and I would go broke buying updated books for each country every year.

This book is the next best thing. It gives an introduction to the system used in a particular country and then discusses the basis for differences between systems used in different countries, so that at least one can understand the types of differences one can expect.

It is a given that any book such as this must address Japan as well as major European and North American, but this title is noteworthy for covering China as well.

this book is very thick but so full of knowledges of Accounting standards. i think its gonna be fun to read it!!

It explains how does accounting apply to international economics and its full spread over managerial part of accounting that differs in every country and is not laid down as set rules everywhere. Good book.

Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with the style of a British textbook, but I found it very difficult to follow. The text rambles from one statement to another, with no logical flow, structure or summaries of introduction or conclusion. It's certainly a thorough treatment of the field if your interest is understanding differences in international practice, although it's not targeted at someone who wants to learn to actually perform the accounting.
