Accounting
IntroductionHistorically, local and environmental factors affect the structure of accounting in Indonesia. For a long time, under the influence of the Netherlands, indonesian book keepers tended to be more and more inspired by the American model. Real change occured in 1965 with the beginning of a real market economy as well as the opening of the Stock Exchange. The consequences has been the improvement and the standardizations of accounting, audit or even ethics practices. |
