For colleges and universities around the world, John Wiley & Sons is proud to announce Financial Accounting: IFRS Edition, by Jerry J. Weygandt, Paul D. Kimmel, and Donald E. Kieso, which incorporates International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) into the existing textbook framework. On almost every page, the book addresses every accounting topic from the perspective of IFRS while still highlighting key differences between IFRS and US GAAP. Following the reputation for accuracy, comprehensiveness, and currency, the authors have painstakingly created a book dedicated to assisting students learning accounting topics under the rules of IFRS.
