Never before have the conditions for accounting changed so rapidly and fundamentally as in recent times. The merging of internal and external accounting creates new tasks.

International accounting standards (IFRS) and legal regulations require substantive changes in reporting. Numerous IT innovations enable the acceleration of financial statement preparation and auditing. Innovative organizational concepts lead to cost reductions and quality improvements in accounting.

Ulrich Brecht and renowned authors from academia and business practice present a book that comprehensively and practically addresses these developments: a unique guide for business practice.

Ulrich Brecht is a professor of business administration at FH Heilbronn - University of Applied Sciences.
