Building upon previous editions of Advanced Accounting, author Debra C. Jeter continues to deliver a balanced and detailed approach to the conceptual and technical aspects of advanced accounting. This new and enhanced edition features more in-depth information about international accounting, the upcoming globalization of accounting standards, changes with FASB's, and the latest developments and differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
