Interpretive
 

Accounting and SEC
ARM Accounting Standards provides summaries and guidance on of all significant accounting matters by topic. Each topic section links to specific paragraphs of all related authoritative and interpretive literature from the FASB, IASB, SEC, PCAOB and CCH Accounting Research Manager. Users can see side-by-side how U.S. GAAP treats a topic vs. how International reporting treats this same topic.
