Global Accounting: 2021 & Beyond

As the world grows increasingly connected, global accounting standards are converging. Whether practitioners, CFOs, controllers or students, top U.S. accountants know it's essential to understand International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) thoroughly if they are advising their companies (or clients) who do business across borders. Likewise, non-U.S. accountants know they must now understand the nuances of US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Global Accounting: 2021 and Beyond helps financial professionals worldwide understand the similarities and differences between US GAAP and IFRS. As a result, they're better equipped to advise foreign corporations operating in the U.S. and U.S. companies operating abroad. Written by Cecil K.
