Therefore, the book focuses on providing a basic understanding of the principles of group accounting and the various situations that need to be addressed. Readers obtain both conceptual insights and practical knowledge, with each area illustrated through explanatory texts and examples. Each chapter concludes with exercises and accompanying solutions.Group Accounting is based on both international standards (IFRS) and the Swedish standard (K3), thereby covering all requirements that Swedish companies need to apply in the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
