Research Abstract |
During the term of this project (1991-1993), head investigator and investigators have made public their own research results in terms of articles, books or oral presentations. The research report was prepared by grouping the research results into the following four parts : Part 1. Ingternational Harmonization of Accounting, Part 2. International Comparison of Accounting Systems, Part 3. Financial Globalization and Accounting, and Part 4. Corporate Social Accounting. In Part 1 such topics are dealt with as the concepts of international uniflrmity in accounting ; the activities of International Accounting Standards Committee ; comparative studies of the International and Japanese accounting standards ; and auditing following the internaitonal uniformity of accounting. In Part 2, wse discuss the international comparison of accounting systems wiht reference to the principles of conservatism and materiality, the corporate ownership structure, and the international control sytem. Part 3 examines such accounting problems arising under financial globalization as recognition and measuremnt of options, warrants and treasury stocks. In Part 4 we surfeyed the ingternational trends of corporate social accounting and environmental accounting. These research results werer totally founded upon the recognition that it is very importatnt for Japanese accuntants to meet the new information needs in gthe days of economic globalization. Furthermore, they cover world-0wide problems which arised in the areas of financial, managerial and corporate social accounting. IN such a sense, our research results are worthy of the Cooperative Research. Theyare expected to be useful guides to set and revise accounting standards or rules, and contribute to the future developments in Japanese accounting systems.
