Detailed Analysis of IFRS

Introduction

The IFRS are accounting standards, rules and principles that were introduced by an independent organization in the United Kingdom, known as the International Accountants Standards Board. The institution puts forward that the standards would better serve public companies worldwide than the local standards in the country due to the aspect of comparability, transparency and economic growth. There are several countries that have adopted the IFRS over the recent years.

For some mysterious reason the name of Alfred Hitchcock is related in the public consciousness to the genre of horror movies, although the closest to horror movies he ever filmed are his iconic psychological thrillers, which are about as similar to horror films as Rembrandt’s paintings to comic books. Vertigo is one of the most picturesque examples of his creative work, becoming the constant source of inspiration and imitation for the decades after it had been shot.

The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic television show based on the ongoing series of black-and-white comic books of the same name. One may think that a film about zombie-apocalypse cannot be anything else but low-quality trash, but, surprisingly, The Walking Dead shows that it is not always so.

Several years ago this book and a subsequent film with the same name attracted a lot of attention of society, mostly due to effective advertising campaign. Positioned as a self-help book that would change the life of every person who will read it and believe in what it says, it sold more than 4 million copies, with the DVDs with film selling about 2 million copies.

John Fowles is considered to be one of the modern classics of the British literature, although it always eluded me why – all his texts I managed to read had only one thing in common – by the end they never brought about any feelings except for general boredom and disgust for its protagonists. The Magus is in no way different.

The Firm is written in a usual for John Grisham genre of a legal thriller – that is, the plot is placed in the environment of jurisprudence and is generally based on various legal issues. This novel very quickly became a bestseller, was adapted for screen and, in general, became one of the iconic examples not only of Grisham’s creative work, but of the genre he writes in as well.

The Economic Way of Thinking is the most well-known work of a popular American lecturer in economics, Paul Heyne. It earned considerably high review from critics and was translated into Russian, Bulgarian, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian and a number of other languages, becoming one of the first textbooks of modern economic theory in a number of post-Soviet states.

The Deeper Meaning of Liff is one of the less known works of a famous humoristic sci-fi author, the creator of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In this work he enters an unusual area of dictionary compiling, although this is a very specific dictionary. As he himself states, there are a lot of things, ideas, concepts and experiences in this world, which do not have any specific words denoting them; and there are thousands of words that do nothing but wasting their time on signposts and pointing at places. This means that, naturally, both oversights could and should be rectified.

The Clash of Civilizations is a magnum opus of a prominent American political scientist Samuel Huntington, known for his specific views on the new world order that is sure to emerge in the post-Cold War era. In this book he expresses most of his views concerning this subject.
