This review is from: Transnational Accounting/With Reference Matrix and Glossary (Hardcover)

For accounting professionals, bankers, and investment research analysts, this book provides indepth analysis of the local accounting guidelines throughout the world. International Corporate Finance Houses should not be without one. The book, published in conjuntion with KPMG, covers Europe, the US and Canada, and a number of the major countries in Asia, including Japan, Taiwan and India. The two volume text includes a well organized matrix of major accounting issues, and their treatment under local GAAP. In addition, each country chapter is divided between parent and consolidated accounting rules. Of primary importance to deal makers will be the attention to detail behind disclosure requirements for each country

This review is from: Transnational Accounting: Three Volumes (Hardcover)

It is a very complete work, describing all the rules and accounting standard of many countries. It is very detailed and easy to read. Not too involved in theory.

This review is from: Transnational Accounting: Three Volumes (Hardcover)

This belongs in any high flying accounts collection of reference. You may think that this book is long winded, not concise and bascially for hardcore accounting academics but you'd be suprised how well written and easy to follow it is.

It comes from a very reputable editor and basically contains all the useful parts of other books in one. If you where to buy the useful books in this field it would cost alot more than this book so it is worth it but only buy it if you feel it can help you make more money.

P.S- Its a good idea to borrow a copy first before you buy because if you don't feel comfortable with it its a waste of money. If you do feel comfortable with it you will soon realise its invaluble.
