1999 Miller GAAP Implementation Manual

Our 1999 Miller GAAP from the Emerging Issues Task Force is packed with analysis and explanation of all current issues on which the EITF reached a consensus since its inception in 1984 (though the July 1998 meeting). Financial professionals will get over 1,000 pages covering mandatory accounting transactions not addressed anywhere else. Readers can even earn up to 24 credit hours of low-cost CPE.
