The complete CPA reference

This fifth edition brings the desk reference up to date for executives and accountants who need answers quickly. Readers have leaned on earlier versions for close to fifteen years, and this one keeps the same goal: help professionals handle everyday accounting questions without wading through long theory.

Each topic is arranged as a question and answer. For every issue, the book flags what to check, which pitfalls to avoid, what action to take, and how to carry it out. Coverage includes IFRS standards, internal control over financial reporting, financial measures, ratios, and accounting procedures. Practical techniques and rules of thumb run throughout.

Checklists, sample documents, and worked solutions to a range of accounting problems make it useful as a day-to-day companion in a field where standards keep changing.
