Enhancing Financial Disclosure Standards in Transitional Economies
Narasimham, R.; Adhami, E. | October 2008
Abstract
Public and private investors want timely, accurate financial information about institutions before investing. This requires adherence to internationally accepted financial disclosure standards. However, implementing these standards is a particular challenge for economies in transition from the Soviet-era central planning approach toward a market economy.
In response to requests from Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan, ADB provided a technical assistance grant to build capacity to enhance financial disclosure standards.
This book is a compendium of the project's findings, activities, results, and recommendations. It can be a valuable guide to accountants, auditors, financial institutions, regulators, investors, governments, researchers, and others interested in the financial practices and progress of these developing nations.
