Case studies on financial reporting aspects include one on Romania and one on Turkey. Also included are four case studies on non-financial reporting aspects on Romania, corporate climate change-related reporting, Japan disclosure, and stock exchanges role in reporting developments. More case studies cover the human capacity aspect on the training of professional accountants and on professional accounting qualification systems.
