ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE

Summary/Abstract: Standard accounting practices require publicly-traded companies to follow certain accounting rules when presenting financial statements so that the readers of the statements can easily compare different companies. Private companies are also often required by banks and shareholders, for example, to present information according to their specified rules. Usually, countries practicing civil law system write standards into law and countries with English common law systems have private organizations to set the rules.
