This fully revised fifth edition of "International Financial Reporting and Analysis" maintains its longstanding and popular conceptual approach to financial accounting and international accounting standards. The content has been thoroughly updated to take account of new international requirements in order to reflect the changes in the IASB's programme of new and revised IFRS. New to this edition: new real life examples describing the accounting practices of companies from around the world; more extracts from published company accounts; fully updated throughout, including all new and revised IFRS and more rigorous coverage of financial statement analysis; new and improved end of chapter questions and exam board questions; and, new coverage of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility, reflecting the changes in the current economic climate.
