Teaching International Finance–An Accountant's Perspective

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 October 2009

Extract

International finance has developed into a recognized field of study within the broader discipline of international business. This has occurred because increasing commitments of companies to international operations have forced more and more financial managers to face a number of problems and issues not found in a strictly domestic setting. Foreign currency exchange risks, exchange controls, restrictions on the flow of funds, diverse accounting and taxation systems, host government interference, and the effects of worldwide inflation on enterprise assets, earnings, and capital costs are just a sample of the variables calling for specialized knowledge.
