Accounting Leaders Discuss Simplifying Financial Reporting

The Global Accounting Alliance (GAA), formed in November 2005, is an organization of the world's leading professional accountancy institutes. It was created to promote quality services, share information and collaborate on important international issues. As part of this effort, the GAA publishes a bimonthly online journal. The lead article in the August 2009 issue of GAA Accounting is the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) coverage of the July 17, 2009 AICPA-GAA Roundtable discussion on simplifying financial reporting.
