Critical Acclaim
‘The business world is fast changing but accounting is perennially slow to catch up, always lagging seriously behind developments. This collection of important articles on key issues, such as accounting manipulations, intangibles, nonfinancial information, and corporate governance goes a long way in closing the gap between business reality and accounting. It is an important resource for CFOs, accountants, investors, and business students.’
