IFRS Principles of Accounting会计学原理

     The goal of the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is to have one set of
high-quality accounting standards which are uniformly used by
business firms all over the world. Thedream seems not so far from
being fulfilled because about 120 countries have already adopted
orconverged to international financial reporting standards (IFRS)
throughout the world. Thanks tothe rapid adoption of or convergence
toward the IFRSs, more and more accounting courses areoffered
across the countries to teach or accommodate the IFRSs. It is
timely to have anintroductory accounting book in English reflecting
the most updated conceptual base and principalguidance of the IFRSs
with key terminologies in Chinese.
