Preface

This book is written with the express purpose of sensitizing students to the international dimensions of accounting and financial reporting. The world in which they will pursue their professional careers is a world dominated by global business and investment decisions. As most of these decisions are premised on financial data, a knowledge of international accounting is crucial for achieving proper understanding in international business and financial communications. Although ideal for upper division undergraduate students and masters students, we are pleased that contents of this award-winning effort have also benefited practicing accountants, financial executives, investment managers, accounting educators, and professional administrators around the world.

Our revision of a work that has spanned three decades features a number of enhancements. These include:

• Capital market, managerial, taxation, and institutional updates reflective of current trends and issues
• Discussion of the newly restructured International Accounting Standards Board
• Revised discussion of reporting and disclosure practices with many new examples from both developed and emerging market countries
• Expanded listings of relevant international Web site addresses and data sources Many new discussion questions, exercises, and cases
