This seminal textbook, written by a leading academic with extensive
experience in accountancy education and practice, is designed to provide
students with the knowledge and skills to appraise underlying accounting
concepts and apply International Accounting Standards (IASs) and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Accordingly, this 7th edition has
been fully revised to reflect the requirements of all extant IASs and IFRSs
at 31 March 2026, including IFRS 18 Presentation
and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
International Financial Accounting and Reporting is particularly
suitable for the intermediate and advanced levels of undergraduate accounting
degree programmes, together with postgraduate and professional courses. The
format and presentation of the text is designed to inform and teach the reader
about the application of IASs and IFRSs in an understandable and structured
manner.
Key features of the 7th Edition include:
- consideration of the impact of IFRS 18 on each topic covered;
- discussion of accounting and professional ethics (with related questions
and solutions);
- eight chapters that deal comprehensively and specifically with accounting
for business combinations;
- separate chapters addressing issues such as the
accounting treatment of financial instruments, employee benefits and
share-based payments
- an explanation of the principal accounting and disclosure differences
between IASs/IFRSs and FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable
in the UK and Republic of Ireland; and
- an extensive range of Review and Challenging Questions, together with full
solutions.
