It explains the criteria of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)in such a clear and plain manner that even any entity or body applying the international standards for the first time would be able to understand . The book shows the practical application of standards set by the Board, using simple explanations and examples that can be easily applied. The book then goes further in its review and explanation, and offers a wealth of teaching aids in the form of case studies (with carefully examined solutions) and multiple-choice questions (with answers).


The order of the contents of the book is consistent - in general- with the order and scope of each standard; each chapter discusses specifically one standard from the set of international standards for financial reporting; and chapters have been arranged in accordance with the actual numbering of the international standards for financial reporting currently in force. This order allows the use of the book as a guide and reference in addition to the full set of standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
