The new fifth edition of this authoritative reference volume has been updated with an overview of information technology in accounting, as well as updated FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) and its Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). Other topics covered include a discussion of financial accounting that describes financial statements and presents details on financial reporting requirements and compliance, as well as detailed explanations of cost management and taxation forms and their preparation. An extensive A-to-Z dictionary of accounting terms follows, presenting short-entry definitions of everything from Abacus and Absorption Costing to Zero-Base Budgeting and Z Score. The bookÂ's concluding chapters explain quantitative methods for accounting, auditing, personal financial planning, governmental and nonprofit accounting, international accounting, and forensic accounting. Appendices cover recent accounting-related legislation, financial reporting differences among different countries, and more.
