Details

CCH’s U.S. Master GAAP Guide helps accountants solve many complex accounting and disclosure problems. Superior technical analysis and practical explanations of accounting principles are provided in this insightful volume. The Guide uses a helpful three-step approach for each topic covered. First, flowcharts illustrate the decision process and accounting procedures. Then, general discussion of the major provisions provides a context for understanding; and, finally, detailed examples show the specific computations and accounting requirements.

This one comprehensive volume provides you with new insights into, and practical understanding of, the standards that constitute U.S. GAAP. To reflect the structure of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), the U.S. Master GAAP Guide is organized into nine chapters that correspond to the areas of the ASC. With its summaries, explanations, and applications of generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities in the United States of America, this book is the most powerful working guide available to accounting practitioners today.
