ACCOUNTING TRENDS AND TECHNIQUES (PUBLICATION)

A prominent publication put out annually by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to update accountants on current financial reporting practices. The publication has been distributed since 1946.

The publication features detailed narratives describing the requirements imposed by new accounting rulings. It includes real-world examples for publicly-traded companies to serve as a guide for practitioners' own difficult cases. Sister publications deal with IFRS accounting issues, employee benefit plans and not-for-profit organizations.
