Summary coverage of FASB Concept Statements, FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts, AICPA Statements of Position, and selected SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins are also included. The U.S. Master GAAP Guide groups pronouncements into Topics that, in turn, are arranged to follow major balance sheet headings. This organization allows the reader to find all current pronouncements on a given subject in one section of the book. The book uses a helpful three-step approach for each Topic to give readers easy access to practical insights and depth of understanding. First, the U.S. Master GAAP Guide features flow charts that 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.
