Comparative International Accounting

Now in its 13th edition, Nobes and Parker's Comparative International Accounting is renowned for its depth of discussion and comparative method of explaining the international dimensions of financial reporting. The book explores the conceptual and contextual foundations of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), contrasting them with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). It also examines international differences in IFRS practices and the accounting differences that remain between countries such as China, France, Germany and Japan. Particular attention is paid to the key issues of political lobbying, harmonization, and the special accounting problems of multinational companies. von Nobes, Christopher
