Financial Accounting: IFRS

by Jerry J. Weygandt, Paul D. Kimmel, Donald E. Kieso

While there is growing interest in IFRS within the US, interest outside the US has exploded. Weygandt's third edition of Financial IFRS highlights the integration of more US GAAP rules, a desired feature as more foreign companies find the United States to be their largest market. The highly anticipated new edition retains each of the key features (e.g. TOC, writing style, pedagogy, robust EOC) on which users of Weygandt Financial have come to rely, while putting the focus on international companies/examples, discussing financial accounting principles and procedures within the context of IFRS, and providing EOC exercises and problems that present students with foreign currency examples instead of solely U.S. dollars.

As far as text books go, it's an ok one. It's easy to read and follow, although I feel like they missed explaining some of the mathematical formulas in the later chapters and it made solving the chapter problems a little difficult. Over all it's a decent text book, just make sure your instructor is clear on how to solve the problems.
