Accounting and Financial System Reform in a Transition Economy: A Case Study of Russia / Edition 1

by Robert W. McGee, Galina G. Preobragenskaya

Overview

Much has been written about the economic and political problems of countries that are in the process of changing from centrally planned systems to market systems. Most studies have focused on the economic, legal, political, and sociological problems these economies have had to face during the transition period. However, not much has been written about the dramatic changes that have to be made to the accounting and financial system of a transition economy. Accounting and Financial System Reform in a Transition Economy: A Case Study of Russia was written to help fill that gap.
