Accounting Research Manager®

In today’s business world, it has become a monumental task to stay on top of the changes and additions to accounting rules and regulations. And, even if you manage to stay in tune with the changes, understanding and applying them presents another challenge. Luckily, Accounting Research Manager pulls together all of the information and analysis you need in one place, providing you with information you can trust in a format you can use.

Accounting Research Manager goes beyond the basic guidance that is normally offered. Instead, it translates complex information into easy-to-understand language with interpretations that clearly define the rules from your perspective.

It helps you understand and comply with rapidly changing accounting, auditing, governmental, SEC and internal controls standards, such as Fair Value, the Codification issued by the FASB, FASB Codification Topic 740 (FIN 48), Sarbanes-Oxley and other pertinent topics.

It includes:

• A comprehensive online financial reporting database, including all source content and industry leading interpretations.
• Interpretive guidance that allows you to navigate directly from within a document or from within the tips view in a task pane to resources on ARM.
• Unique FASB functionality that saves valuable time through "combine an entire topic" and summaries of new releases.
