U.S. Master Accounting Guide (2008) (U.s. Master Guides)

CCH's U.S. Master Accounting Guide distills key accounting, business, legal and financial information into a convenient, handy and affordable package for the accountant's fingertip reference. Hundreds of updates are reflected across the broad coverage areas in the 2007 Edition including critical tax developments, accounting standards changes, financial developments, and much more affecting every chapter in the book. With the Guide, practitioners can beam-in on important details that may be just a little beyond their memory. Once on location the professional has access to valuable lists, digests, illustrative tables and charts, calculations, formulas, ratios, examples, and descriptive explanations--all designed to help quickly answer a client question or provide an additional slant or solution to a complex issue. Helpful information is provided on accounting principles (including the latest GAAP pronouncements), business entities, bankruptcy, business valuation, franchising, buying/selling a business, securities, financial analysis, Social Security, taxation (including recent legislative and regulatory developments), employment issues, human resources, investments, insurance, and much more.
