Amidst a national parade of corporate scandals, accounting professionals require a timely, rock-solid resource that will instill executives, clients and trustees with the confidence they have come to expect from you. As preparers, auditors, and financial statement users demand guidance about accounting procedures they can trust, they know they can depend on the number one GAAP resource, Wiley GAAP, the title that for twenty-five years has provided the indispensable tools accounting professionals have needed.

Wiley GAAP contains complete coverage of all levels of GAAP, now indexed to the new ASC. Wiley GAAP renders GAAP more understandable and accessible for research, and has been designed to reduce the amount of time and effort needed to solve accounting research issues.

This is the year to make sure you know the issues. Been awhile since you had a GAAP refresher? Make sure that you are standing on solid ground. Even if you only consult this resource a few times a year, it will have a long shelf-life in your office for many years. Wiley GAAP analyzes a host of new developments, such as:

  • Comprehensive coverage of major new standards on accounting for business combinations (FAS 141®) and presentation of consolidated financial statements (FAS 160)

  • Expanded disclosure requirements for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (FAS 161)

  • Interpretive guidance resulting from issuance of new FASB staff positions addressing the fair value hierarchy and transfers of financial assets

  • Interpretive consensuses of the Emerging Issues Task Force about accounting for dividends on nonvested options, accounting for collaborative arrangements, and more

  • Updated coverage of major ongoing FASB projects, including "convergence" efforts with the International Accounting Standards Board's IFRS

  • Full coverage of all newly issued FASB staff positions and EITF consensuses

Featuring numerous real-world examples, illustrations, and helpful practice hints that are extremely user-friendly, Wiley GAAP is designed with the needs of readers and researchers in mind. Covering the entire GAAP hierarchy, Wiley GAAP addresses all effective pronouncements, including:

  • FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)

  • FASB Interpretations

  • FASB Technical Bulletins

  • FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts

  • FASB Staff Positions (FSP)

  • Consensuses of the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force

  • AICPA Statements of Position

  • Accounting Research Bulletins

  • Accounting Principles Board Opinions

  • AICPA Audit and Accounting Guides

  • and much more!

About the CD-ROM set: The most practical, authoritative guide to GAAP, Wiley GAAP  (book and CD-ROM set) delivers the most recent developments and analysis of all the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the current year, restating the original, highly technical pronouncements into easy-to-understand terms while providing battle-tested implementation guidance and real-world examples. Each chapter is composed of a discussion of perspectives and issues, sources of GAAP, a definition of terms, concepts, and rules, as well as examples.

About the Not-for-Profit Edition: Wiley Not-for-Profit GAAP is a comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to the accounting and financial reporting principles used by not-for-profit organizations. It is written with the needs of the financial statement preparer, user, and attestor in mind. It provides a complete review of the authoritative accounting literature that impacts all types of not-for-profit organizations. At the same time, Wiley Not-for-Profit GAAP features many examples and illustrations that will assist the reader in applying authoritative literature to real-life situations.  This edition also includes new information covering: FASB 164, Not-for-Profit Entities—Mergers and Acquisitions; FASB 165, Subsequent Events; FASB Staff Position 117-1, Endowment of Not-for-Profit Organizations—Net Asset Classification of Funds Subject to an Enacted Version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act and Enhanced Disclosures for All Endowment Funds; and FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Wiley Not-for-Profit GAAP strives to be a thorough, reliable reference that you'll use constantly. It's designed to be kept on your desk rather than on your bookshelf. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) defines nonprofit organizations as entities that possess the following characteristics not typically found in business enterprises: 1) They receive contributions of significant resources from resource providers who do not expect a commensurate or proportionate monetary return. 2) They operate for purposes other than to make a profit and 3) There is an absence of ownership interests like those of business enterprises.
