TI - Accounting theory T2 - The willard J. graham series in accounting SN - 0256025886 PY - 1982/// CY - [S.l.] PB - Longman Higher Education N1 - Paperback N2 - A general frame of reference is used to evaluate the many areas of financial accounting theory and practice. It includes a number of theories that are not necessarily consistent with each other and that may lead to different conclusions. Evaluations are made at three basic levels: the structural level, the semantic interpretation level, and the pragmatic level. Emphasis is placed on the inductive-deductive and the capital market approaches in the evaluations, although other approaches are discussed where appropriate. Suggested solutions are tentative and subject to change as new evidence becomes available UR - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0256025886/chopaconline-20 UR - http://www.chopac.org/cgi-bin/tools/azrev.pl?q=0256025886 ER -
