Book Information
"Accounting Standards" introduces students to general accounting principles and the disclosure requirements of company financial statements. The emphasis is on the requirements of Accounting Statements and Interpretations issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants, which form the basis of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) in South Africa. Incorporated into this latest edition are the changes brought about by new accounting standards, issued as a consequence of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants' Harmonisation and Improvement of Accounting Standards Project. The book is intended to satisfy the specific requirements of students and to reduce the workload of educators.
