Accounting plays a crucial role in the economics of developing countries by providing information they need to implement their planning processes. The success of economic development is, in fact, tied to the way in which accounting systems, at both the the micro and macro levels, are developed and used. By linking the accounting and development processes together and showing how they complement and influence each other, Riahi-Belkaoui's book provides academics, researchers, and professionals in international finance and economic development with a unique source of information, analysis, and interpretation.
