'International Accounting' is aimed at professional accountants who need to keep up to date with the various topics within its pages, including fair value accounting under IAS/IFRS, adopting and implementing international financial reporting standards in transition economies and impairment of fixed assets.

International Accounting can be viewed in terms of accounting issues uniquely confronted by companies involved in international business. It also can be viewed more broadly as the study of how accounting is practiced in each and every country around the world, learning about and comparing the differences in various accounting methods. This is unique in its content and is up-to-date with relevant material integrated throughout the textbook. In its first year, this text captured approximately 30 percent of the market.

While there is growing interest in IFRS within the US, interest outside the US has exploded. Weygandt's fourth edition of Financial Accounting: IFRS highlights the integration of more US GAAP rules, a desired feature as more foreign companies find the United States to be their largest market. The highly anticipated new edition retains each of the key features (e.g. TOC, writing style, pedagogy, robust EOC) on which users of Weygandt Financial have come to rely, while putting the focus on international companies/examples, discussing financial accounting principles and procedures within the context of IFRS, and providing EOC exercises and problems that present students with foreign currency examples instead of solely U.S. dollars.

Business scandals are always with us from the South Sea Bubble to Enron and Parmalat. As accounting forms a central element of any business success or failure, the role of accounting is crucial in understanding business scandals. This book aims to explore the role of accounting, particularly creative accounting and fraud, in business scandals. The book is divided into three parts. In Part A the background and context of creative accounting and fraud is explored. Part B looks at a series of international accounting scandals and Part C draws some themes and implications from the country studies.

The Third Edition of International Accounting provides an overview of the broadly defined area of international accounting, but also focuses on the accounting issues related to international business activities and foreign operations. This edition also includes substantially updated coverage of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The unique benefits of this textbook include its up-to-date coverage of relevant material, extensive numerical examples provided in most chapters, two chapters devoted to the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and coverage of nontraditional but important topics such as strategic accounting issues of multinational companies, international corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility reporting.

As business and capital markets have continue to grow more global over recent years, the need for cross-border financial information has correspondingly increased. This has brought international accounting to the forefront. International Accounting: A User Perspective is designed to provide an understanding of international accounting issues to current and future business managers. The book takes a user perspective to international financial reporting because most business executives are more likely to be users of financial information that crosses national borders than users of it. With the recent problems exposed in the quality of financial reporting in many countries, a solid understanding of international accounting issues is an important part of the portfolio of skills that managers in medium and large enterprises must possess.

Now in its second edition, this publication gives readers a broad and basic understanding of the key issues for each International Accounting Standard. It summarizes each standard, providing a quick reference for managers and executives in the private and public sectors who may not have a strong background in accounting. Each chapter also contains a case study that illustrates the practical application of key concepts in a particular standard. This gives the non-technical reader the tools to participate in discussions on the appropriateness or application of a standard in a given situation. The reader can also evaluate the effect that applying a given standard will have on the financial results and position of a division or an entire enterprise.
