The fifth edition of this reference volume on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), produced by The World Bank, has been revised to include new standards set forth by the
International Accounting Standards Board through December 2008. Van Greuning (treasury adviser, The World Bank) provides standards for financial statement presentation, group statements,
balance sheets, income statements and disclosure. Each section defines the objective and scope of the standard, key concepts, accounting treatment, presentation and disclosure, financial
analysis and interpretation for private and public sector executives and managers. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
