About this book

European Financial Reporting analyses the revolution that is currently taking place in the financial reporting of the major European companies, following the European Union's decision that from they must present their accounts according to the IASB's standards. The book covers both the theory of financial reporting and its practice at both national and international level. It covers the very latest developments in the EU and the IASB with a detailed analysis of the impact of the Enron scandal.
