As the International Financial Reporting Standards Committee makes progress towards widespread acceptance and use of its standards and practices, the need to understand the new standards increases. Alan Melville provides the tools for understanding the standards and offers expert guidance on how to implement them. International Financial Reporting 3e provides a unique, practical introduction to the international standards, outlining how these standards are used on a daily basis by companies in the preparation of their financial statements. The author examines the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements of each IFRS and IAS in a clear and concise way which makes a difficult set of standards comprehensible to even a novice student. Features of the book include interpretive guidance, coverage of every key International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) and International Accounting Standard (IAS), together with an unparalleled level of student interactivity and assessment. Examples and practice questions are provided throughout the book and in a new Companion Website developed for this 3rd edition to aid student understanding and to provide a framework for grasping the key aspects of this complex and fast-moving subject. With more than 120 countries in the world now using international financial reporting standards (IFRS), knowledge of the standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is vital to students' success in financial accounting. Melville's International Financial Reporting employs a practical, applied approach in exploring and explaining the key international standards. With a focus on how to implement the standards, this text delivers a focused, user-friendly introduction to international financial reporting.
