This engaging new textbook takes a refreshing approach to the subject of intermediate level financial reporting. As well as presenting the IFRS clearly, with global, real-life examples, it examines not only the debates surrounding their historical development but also critically analyses their current requirements and looks ahead to future challenges in this rapidly changing field. Encouraging students to do more than simply perform calculations, the book considers both the user's perspective, as well as the preparer's, where relevant, allowing an appreciation of the implications of financial information to a business.

This text is aimed at undergraduate, intermediate-level modules on financial reporting on Accounting degrees.
