Accounting concepts and alternative approaches,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Financial Accounting Theory (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
There are not many accounting books that deal with the conceptual aspects of accounting and that show alternative approaches.
These days, in a global world, accounting standards (namely US GAAPP and IASB) convergence is at hand but depending upon the way you describe the divergences you may frighten the reader or be overly optimistic. That is why I beleive it is important to go back to the basic reasoning that led to such or such standard. This book will contribute to enhance unbiassed accounting theory and help the reader make his own opinion. Claude Taudin 2 rue René Panhard - 75013 Paris Tel. +33 1 43 36 15 71
