For the financial executives, analysts, and investors who must compare financial statements across boundaries, this three-volume reference (updated from the 1996 two-volume work) provides information on accounting and reporting in 19 countries and two entities, including Europe and the European Union, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region, and including information on the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC). This second edition contains coverage on five new countries<-->Finland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, and Argentina<-->in addition to expanded sections on standards in the US, Great Britain, and with the IASC. Both individual accounts and group accounts are covered in a standardized format. The set comes with a fourth, paperbound volume comprising a reference matrix and 12- language glossary for country-by-country comparisons of standards and practices. The contributing writers are authorities in their fields, as is the editor, who worked in conjunction with KPMG LLC, an international accounting, tax, and consulting firm. Annotation c.
