Know All Your Alternative Financial Reporting Options

Over the last decade, financial statement preparers and users have sought practical solutions to provide high-quality financial reporting results without the complications of U.S. GAAP. Fortunately, alternative frameworks do exist. It’s just a matter of performing adequate due diligence to decipher which alternative financial reporting framework works best for you.
