Product Description
Product Description
Comparative International Accounting by Nobes and Parker, now in its eleventh edition, is renowned for its depth of discussion and comparative coverage of the international dimensions of financial accounting and reporting.
It uncovers the conceptual and contextual foundations of the increasingly used International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and contrasts them with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Nobes and Parker examine the key issues inherent in the subject such as transition, harmonization and political lobbying and the international differences that remain. They also look at the special accounting problems of multinational companies.
Comparative International Accounting has been extensively revised for the many changes in international accounting since the last edition.

Customer Reviews
Apart from the American, British and other well-known systems of accounting, the book contains chapters on the less known Eastern European, Chinese and Scandinavian accounting practices.
Despite the fact that it goes into a high level of detail, it is extremely easy to read. It contains up-to-date information on most of the recent developments in accounting systems around the world as well as the latest on international harmonisation of accounting.
Highly recommended.
This book is the next best thing. It gives an introduction to the system used in a particular country and then discusses the basis for differences between systems used in different countries, so that at least one can understand the types of differences one can expect.
It is a given that any book such as this must address Japan as well as major European and North American, but this title is noteworthy for covering China as well.
