Book description

With the introduction of the Companies Act 2013, financial accounting and reporting has undergone a major shift in India.. For instance, The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has announced the revision of the schedule for the convergence of Indian accounting standards with the IFRS and has also made Cash Flow Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements mandatory . Hence, this edition of &ldquoFinancial Accounting for Managers" has been suitably revised and adapted to incorporate these changes.
