Product Description
Comparative International Accounting takes a comprehensive look at the international dimensions of financial accounting and reporting. While the book's two main authors have written the majority of chapters, it includes several contributions from a diverse group of international experts, all of who are leading practitioners or academics. The book is split into four distinct parts with Part 1 giving an overview of international differences in accounting and financial reporting. Part 2 examines individual countries and includes country studies of UK, US, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe and China. Part 3 looks at issues in financial accounting and the final part looks at analysis and management issues. For those in the accounting field seeking current information on all aspects of international accounting.

 Thorough, but difficult to read March 8, 2007
jsinger (Boston, MA)
Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with the style of a British textbook, but I found it very difficult to follow. The text rambles from one statement to another, with no logical flow, structure or summaries of introduction or conclusion. It's certainly a thorough treatment of the field if your interest is understanding differences in international practice, although it's not targeted at someone who wants to learn to actually perform the accounting.
 Broad coverage of major world accounting systems January 15, 2006

As a translator who works with Japanese, Chinese, and French financial reports, it is difficult to find up to date books that cover all of the financial systems that I deal with, and I would go broke buying updated books for each country every year.
This book is the next best thing. It gives an introduction to the system used in a particular country and then discusses the basis for differences between systems used in different countries, so that at least one can understand the types of differences one can expect.
It is a given that any book such as this must address Japan as well as major European and North American, but this title is noteworthy for covering China as well.
