Overview
European Financial Reporting: A History is primarily a reference work for those interested in financial accounting and reporting. It is the first English language source that analyses the historical development of accounting in different European countries, and thereby provides relevant material for the study of comparative international accounting. Because the sum of accounting practices in any jurisdiction at any time represents an accumulation of past decisions, reactions to past events and initiatives in the past which have occurred in relation to an evolving social and economic culture, it follows that to study the accounting of the present, one must study the accounting of the past, and this book makes a first attempt to provide material which will help in that aim.Primarily a reference work for those interested in financial accounting and reporting, European Financial Reporting is the first English language source that analyzes the historical development of accounting inthe different European countries, and thereby provides relevant material for the study of comparative international accounting. The text is an essential introduction to the evolution of financial reporting from the industrial revolution to the present day
