Reduced Disclosure Requirements publication (June 2011)
 
The Reduced Disclosure Regime is an important development in the Australian financial reporting environment and many organisations currently preparing general purpose financial statements will benefit from these disclosure reductions.
 
Carmen has written a book to assist organisations to implementing this new regime through transition plans, checklists and FAQ's.
 
The Reduced Disclosure Regime - A Practical Guide to Implementation is available through www.gaap.com.au.
