Accounting for Investments, Volume 2 (ePub)

A comprehensive guide to new and existing accounting practices
for fixed income securities and interest rate derivatives

The financial crisis forced accounting standard setters and
market regulators around the globe to come up with new proposals
for modifying existing practices for investment accounting.
Accounting for Investments, Volume 2: Fixed Income and Interest
Rate Derivatives covers these revised standards, as well as
those not yet implemented, in detail.

Beginning with an overview of the financial products affected by
these changes--defining each product, the way it is
structured, its advantages and disadvantages, and the different
events in the trade life cycle--the book then examines the
information that anyone, person or institution, holding fixed
income security and interest rate investments must record.

fixed income and interest rate derivatives like interest rate
swaps, caps, floors, collars, cross currency swaps, and more

accounting affect the investment world

Accurately recording and reporting investments across financial
products requires extensive knowledge both of new and existing
practices, and Accounting for Investments, Volume 2, Fixed
Income Securities and Interest Rate Derivatives covers this
important topic in-depth, making it an invaluable resource for
professional and novice accountants alike.
