As the world grows increasingly connected, global accounting standards are converging. Whether practitioners, CFOs, controllers or students, top U.S. accountants know it's essential to understand International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) thoroughly if they are advising their companies (or clients) who do business across borders. Likewise, non-U.S. accountants know they must now understand the nuances of US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Global Accounting: 2021 and Beyond helps financial professionals worldwide understand the similarities and differences between US GAAP and IFRS. As a result, they're better equipped to advise foreign corporations operating in the U.S. and U.S. companies operating abroad. Written by Cecil K. Nazareth ACA, CPA, MBA, a widely-respected thought leader in international tax and accounting circles. A member of the AICPA's International Tax Issues Task Force Nazareth shares his three-decades of international tax and accounting expertise, with a heavy emphasis on small to midsize companies, subsidiaries of foreign parents, and high-net-worth individuals and families across the globe. He's a highly sought-after speaker and university professor for both national and international locations. Tax firms around the world call Cecil to conduct sessions for their teams. He's also the author of International Tax & Compliance Handbook (2018).

The planet is currently experiencing a mass extinction event, with human and business activity being the root cause of species loss and habitat destruction. Industries, companies, banks, investors, accountants and auditors have all played their role. This book explores how they can also provide a solution. The book presents plans, metrics, frameworks, mechanisms and financial innovations that can be, and are being, implemented through the financial markets in order to save and protect species, enhance biodiversity and, at the same time, preserve the financial markets and the business world. This biodiversity handbook addresses the intersection between species extinction and the global capitalist system. With contributions from leading non-governmental organisations such as the Capitals Coalition, Business for Nature, the Ecojustice Foundation, ShareAction and the Endangered Wildlife Trust, plus senior researchers in the field, as well as industry experts from Moody’s, EOS at Hermes Federated Investment Management, BlueBay Asset Management, ODDO BHF Asset Management and OSSIAM (to mention just a few), this book is at the forefront of addressing the crucially important topics of extinction accounting, finance and governance. Drawing on leading research, the book is written in an accessible style and is relevant to researchers and students in the fields of sustainability, governance, accounting, finance, corporate social responsibility and corporate governance. It is essential reading for investors, responsible investors, bankers, business leaders and policy makers in the field of sustainable financial markets.
