An essential and intuitive treatment of financial accounting with an international perspective

The use of International Financial Reporting Standards is growing rapidly, both outside of the United States and within, especially as IFRS incorporates more US GAAP rules.

This important work offers practical end-of-chapter exercises and practice problems complete with foreign currency examples, as well as an emphasis on non-US companies and examples. It is perfect for accounting students seeking exposure to internationally utilized accounting standards.
