Financial accounting theory 8th ed

"This book began as a series of lesson notes for a financial accounting theory course of the Certifi ed General Accountants' Association of Canada (CGA). The lesson notes grew out of a conviction that we have learned a great deal about the role of financial accounting and reporting in our society from securities markets and information economics-based research conducted over many years, and that fi nancial accounting theory comes into its own when we formally recognize the information asymmetries that pervade business relationships."
