Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book critically examines the historic cost basis of accounting - known as the 'Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52' - and its adoption and use in performance measurement for foreign operations under floating exchange rates. The author argues that the conventional accounting treatment of foreign exchange gains and losses, and the similar treatment of translation, can lead to a biased measure of operating income. This is because historic cost accounting does not sufficiently adjust for inflation, and exchange rate movements under floating exchange rates are highly volatile. The author also examines the impact of the adoption of FAS 52 on internal control systems and finds that many multinational corporations potentially encourage non-optimal decisions by their use of reward systems and lack of consideration for the impact of FAS 52 on the measurement of net income and return on investment. The book concludes by highlighting the need for more objective accounting principles, and emphasising the significant role of the accounting profession in establishing such standards.
