From the Back Cover
The most practical, authoritative guide to GAAP
Amidst a national parade of corporate scandals, accounting professionals require a timely, rock-solid resource in order to instill clients and investors with the confidence they have come to expect. Wiley GAAP 2008 delivers updates on the most recent developments and analyses of all generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), explaining the original, highly technical pronouncements in easy-to-understand terms and providing practical implementation guidance. Unlike other guides, Wiley GAAP 2008 offers complete coverage of all levels of GAAP in a single volume, including EITF issues that have not yet been reduced to consensus, as well as EITF Appendix D discussion matters. Wiley GAAP 2008 contains updates for a host of new developments such as:
A new chapter providing comprehensive coverage of FAS 159 that fundamentally changes the measurement and disclosure of fair values throughout the GAAP literature and provides management with flexible election alternatives to use fair value measurements to account for financial assets and liabilities
Full coverage of newly effective (2007) and highly controversial requirements for accounting for the effects of uncertainty in income taxes (FIN 48)
Recent changes that require more frequent remeasurements of leveraged lease transactions
Accounting for planned major maintenance activities
Accounting for sabbatical leave and other similar benefits
Expansion of the definition of a public company for the purpose of applying certain pre-existing GAAP (FSP FAS 126-1)
Full coverage of all newly issued FASB staff positions and EITF consensus
