Publisher's Synopsis
Recent sanctioning of IAS by the European Commission, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the U.S. SEC, and the Canadian Securities Administrators will make 2002 a watershed year in the evolution of IAS as universal accounting standards. As the International Accounting Standards Committee makes progress towards widespread acceptance and use of its standards in practices, the need to understand the new standards increases. This CD-Rom provides the tools for understanding those standards and offers expertise on how to use and implement them. It covers the most recent changes in the standards and interpretations in many areas.
