GAAP 1998

GAAP 98 is a thorough study of all generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) set forth in the pronouncements of the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) and its predecessor agencies. Additionally, this guide contains AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee (ASEC) Statements of Position. All pronouncements are explained with relevant terminology and practice-oriented real world examples. Each chapter is composed of a discussion of perspectives and issues, sources of GAAP, a definition of terms, concepts, rules and examples, and, for some chapters, specific appendices.
