2001 Miller International Accounting Standards Guide

In a world where business and investment is increasingly international, it has become critical that valid comparisons of company performance be made between countries. Given that the differences between national accounting standards can hinder the investment process adding significantly to the cost of doing business, International Accounting Standards are rapidly becoming accepted world-wide. This guide offers the authors and users of financial statements practical knowledge of these new standards which have been developed by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC). It defines the role, structure and workings of the IASC and specifies the key differences between IAS and the US GAAP. The book highlights critical passages from each IAS, including the benchmark and allowed alternative treatments. It also details the implications of the relevant IASs for the preparation of financial statements and their analysis.
