Description

Financial Reporting has undergone fundamental changes in recent years, with increasing departures from the historical cost model of accounting towards fair value accounting. New and revised international accounting standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) at a rapid rate over the past few years. With both Singapore and Malaysia aiming for full convergence with these international accounting standards, significant changes have taken place in accounting standards in Singapore and Malaysia

Financial Accounting in Singapore and Malaysia, an adaptation of the best-selling US financial accounting textbook by Harrison and Horngren, provides an up-to-date treatment of financial accounting based on the latest accounting standards in Singapore and Malaysia. It is also useful in many other countries that are basing their local accounting standards on the international accounting standards issued by the IASB. This adaptation preserves the many great strengths of the original textbook - clear explanations and illustrations and a focus on concepts underlying the technical aspects of financial accounting.

Whilst instructors teaching financial accounting in this region face the constant problem of explaining local practices that are different from those described in standard accounting textbooks, the good news here is that all the local authors for this textbook have considerable experience teaching this subject to undergraduate and MBA students at reputable tertiary institutions in Singapore and Malaysia for many years and are therefore in an excellent position to produce a book that is relevant and interesting to local students and instructors. Indeed, many examples of well-known Singapore and Malaysia companies have been included in the discussion of accounting treatments and in the exercises and problems.
