Book Description

GAAP Guide Level A analyzes authoritative GAAP literature contained in Level A of the GAAP hierarchy, established by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, including FASB Statements and Interpretations, as well as APB Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins. In clear language, each pronouncement is discussed in a comprehensive format that makes it easy to understand and apply. Practical illustrations and examples demonstrate and clarify specific accounting principles.

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.

The Practice Pointers throughout this edition 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.

To facilitate research, GAAP Guide Level A includes extensive codification references to pertinent paragraphs of the original pronouncements.

Material can be located several ways: the Cross-Reference shows the chapter in which a particular pronouncement is discussed; the Index provides a quick page reference; and the chapters' tables of contents list all topics covered and the page on which they begin.

This book can be used in conjunction with GAAP Guide Levels B, C, and D and the twice-monthly GAAP Update Service.

GAAP Guide Level A meets accounting industry standards overseen by the peer review system and contains a document covering the peer review of this book.

5 out of 5 stars Researching GAAP Made Easier.......2007-06-15

Researching GAAP is time consuming because of the multiple sources for pronouncements. This CD reduces the time it takes to find current accounting methods for common financial events. Instead of GAAP guides cluttering your office, CDs are space friendly.

                  Book Description

                  There is a growing movement among corporations to provide family benefits in order to attract and retain women workers. They recognize that these benefits have become a cost of doing business. Many of these benefits, like child-care and elder care, are aimed at supporting employees' ability to stay on the job. Parental leave policies are an exception, because they involve taking time away from the job.

                  This timely book provides an inside look at life in a major U.S. corporation, focusing on the impact of workplace culture on the use of parental leave and those who use it. Fried begins by describing why parental leave is critical to making parenting the job of both parents in two-parent families. She examines the varied experiences of different levels of workers in how parental leave policy is used.

                  The author tells a rich and textured tale of day-to-day life in the skyscraper offices of a large corporation. How people dress, what their offices look like, which cafeteria they eat in, how the supervisors and supervised talk-all these things are part of the fabric of corporate culture that Fried describes.

                  Most of us live in work cultures that value overtime. Fried argues that, as a "time policy" parental leave clashes with the powerful norm that corporate employees must work long and hard. Taking time for parenting-a job that is devalued in our culture-may be perceived as "taking time away" from the company, and, in particular, from the company's productivity.

                  As a dad working in corporate America, this book really pulled me in. I could relate to the issues presented about the struggles parents have trying to balance their work responsibilities and their family responsibilities. But it wasn't just a lot of anecdotes. The author provided an analysis that made sense to me, and leaves me feeling less hopeless. Initially, it made me feel more frustrated with the people I deal with every day, as I thought about how our daily lives could be better. I am a very committed worker and a very committed dad. But ultimately, this book made me think about what I'm up against, and maybe some things I could do to change it. A really good read for any parent who is dealing with feeling overworked, and trying to figure out why and what to do about it.
