Publisher's Synopsis
This text uses a country-specific approach to focus on comparative financial analysis. It examines some of the similarities and differences in generally accepted accounting practices found in a selected number of countries, and emphasizes the importance of understanding country context as a necessary prerequisite to understanding the accounting practices used in various countries. The book contains review and analysis of firm performance by analysts, investors, and managers coupled with several cases at the end of every chapter. International cases place the material in a problem-solving context and learning aids include end-of-chapter exercises focusing on specific international reporting practice, cases, and assignments.
