GAAP Guide Level A (2009)

Organized For Clarity:

• Accounting pronouncements are organized alphabetically by topic under two general areas: generally accepted accounting principles and specialized industry accounting principles.
• Pronouncements covering the same subject are incorporated into a single chapter, so that the authoritative information is easily accessible.
• Includes references to pertinent paragraphs of the original pronouncements. Where applicable, topics related to international standards are cross-referenced to CCH's International Accounting/Financial Reporting Standards Guide.

Concise And Thorough:

• The Practice Pointers throughout point out, in plain English, how to apply the standards just discussed.
• Observations enrich the discussion by presenting interesting aspects of GAAP, such as conflicts within the authoritative literature.

Easy To Locate Material:

• Cross-Reference shows the chapter in which a particular pronouncement is discussed and where to find its counterpart in the proposed FASB codification
• Index provides a quick page reference
• Chapters' tables of contents list all topics covered and the page on which they begin.
