A new form of accounting statement--the value-added statement--is gaining popularity in the United Kingdom, and could easily be adopted in the United States, with beneficial results. Riahi-Belkaoui maintains that the value-added statement can be viewed as a modified income statement: it reports the operating performance of a company at a given point in time, using both accrual and matching procedures. Unlike the income statement, however, the VAS is interpreted not as a return to shareholders but as a return to the larger group of capital and labor providers. Belkaoui spells out how the statement is developed, how it can be adapted to U.S. needs, and what its potential benefits would be. His book will thus interest not only accountants, teachers, and students who follow trends in international and multi-national accounting, but also those who want to prepare for the development of techniques and procedures that might be anticipated in the U.S.

The new global climate of free enterprise has brought with it a proliferation of offshore financial centers that presumably have important roles to play in the emergent global economy. The air of secrecy that appears to pervade the activities of offshore financial centers may well slant or obscure any real understanding of the functions of such centers. The authors investigate the role of major international accounting firms and their services in the processes of business facilitation in the locations that host these centers. By focusing the investigation upon the role of the accounting firms in offshore financial centers, the authors gain a better grasp of the real or potential impacts of the firms in the global economy and in the jurisdictions that host them. Not only do the authors provide a detailed assessment of what the major accounting firms are actually doing in the centers, but they point out what attributes are needed by jurisdictions hoping to succeed as offshore financial centers. Thecenters included are Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Singapore, and Vanuatu.
