International GAAP 2016: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles under International Financial Reporting Standards

International GAAP 2016 is the only globally focused work on IFRSs. It is not constrained by any individual country's legislation or financial reporting regulations, and it ensures an international consistency of approach unavailable elsewhere. It shows how difficult practical issues should be approached in the complex, global world of international financial reporting, where IFRSs have become the accepted financial reporting system in more than 100 countries. This integrated approach provides a unique level of authoritative material for anyone involved in preparing, interpreting or auditing company accounts, for regulators, academic researchers and for all students of accountancy.

All aspects of the detailed requirements of IFRS are dealt with on a topic-by-topic basis. Each chapter of International GAAP 2016 deals with a key area of IFRS and has a common structure for ease of use:

• An introduction to the background issues

• An explanation of relevant principles

• A clear exposition of the requirements of IFRS

• A discussion of the implications in practice and possible alternative solutions available

• Worked examples

• Extracts from real company accounts

• A full listing of the required disclosures
