Sinopsis
This is the most practical, authoritative guide to GAAP-updated for 2009. The complexities of financial reporting - which for too many preparers, auditors and users were only revealed through the exposure of scores of occurrences of reporting fraud in recent years - demand a reliable, readable GAAP resource. "Wiley GAAP 2009" provides in-depth coverage of the most recent developments and analysis of all U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), explaining the original, highly technical pronouncements in easy-to-understand terms and with copious practical implementation guidance. Unlike other guides, "Wiley GAAP 2009" offers complete coverage of all levels of GAAP in a single volume, including EITF issues that have not yet been reduced to consensus, as well as EITF Appendix D discussion matters. Featuring numerous real-world examples, illustrations, and helpful practice hints that are extremely user-friendly, "Wiley GAAP 2009" addresses all effective pronouncements, including: FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS); FASB Interpretations; FASB Technical Bulletins; FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts; FASB Staff Positions (FSP); Consensuses of the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force; AICPA Statements of Position; Accounting Research Bulletins; Accounting Principles Board Opinions; and, AICPA Audit and Accounting Guides. As preparers, auditors, and financial statement users demand guidance about accounting procedures they can trust, they know they can depend on the number one GAAP resource, "Wiley GAAP 2009" - the title that for twenty five years has provided them with the indispensable tools accounting professionals have needed.
