European Accounting Guide , by David Alexander
As the European Union (EU) nations move towards convergence of their accounting practices for listed companies, there are many implications for financial reporting. A history of widely disparate regulations, customs, and accounting practices in Europe still present enormous challenges for accountants and auditors in those countries. Published every other year, the European Accounting Guide includes extensive historical backgrounds of the legal and economic environments for 23 countries, an examination of the accounting standards and self-regulatory agencies that govern each financial system, and updated financial statements. The Guide focuses on the steps the EU nations are taking as a result of globalization of capital markets.
Each chapter of the European Accounting Guide focuses on a single country and includes a snapshot of that country's accounting, auditing, and tax regulations. It then provides a historical background of that country's accounting and auditing principles, examines its financial reporting structure and current regulations, and, finally, explores future developments and provides actual financial statements.
