Accounting has often been described as the language of business. As the increasing competition of overseas markets begins to affect even the smallest local companies, many more business professionals must become fluent in accounting principles and practice. Standardization of Financial Reporting and Accounting in Latin American Countries highlights the recent move to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and addresses some of the concerns raised due to cultural differences and the level of enforcement of these standards in separate countries. Describing the evolution of both financial and managerial accounting due to the adoption of IFRS, this book is an essential reference source for both students and seasoned professionals in the fields of accounting, finance, and related management fields, especially those with an international emphasis.

The environment has always been a great source of raw material for humanity, whether this matter is of plant, animal, or mineral origin. The vast majority of needs are met through factor-factor and factor-product correlations, which indicate in their genesis the nature of economic development. However, numerous scientific works, especially those produced by scholars of the economic sciences, demonstrate that some resources made available by nature are finite, and it should therefore be sought to develop strategic measures so that their use occurs in the most rational way possible. Among these strategies is, since the 1970s, the creation and dissemination of so-called "protected areas", whose main scope is the preservation of the environment for future generations.
